Thanks for reporting in the option of surgery. I know the term "salvage" surgery which is done after traditional surgery and radiation, so yes it is possible.

Of course, we are not doctors here nor have any specifics to this or any case, so should pursue the best doctors and trust their recommendations, whatever they may be.

Surgery in one instance may offer great prognosis and QOL; in other situations, the outcomes can be very different.
