Yes: Better chance of that happening if the treatment includes a combination of surgery, chemotherapy and, in most cases, radiation.

Yes: Be positive. While survival rates are population based, actual survival is individual. It is either 100% or 0% for the individual. Key to cancer survival is comprehensive multidisciplinary approach. Surgical resection, if indicated should be performed by a thoracic surgeon. I hope this link assists you: http://goo.Gl/2cdq9.
