Discuss with oncolog: We can not tell you without knowing the complete history of your dad, you should discuss it with his oncologist about it.

Probably: What size? Where? Any spread? Symptoms? Weight loss? Etc depending on these items and other personal risk factors, surgical removal has the best prognosis.
