Yes. In fact there is a new procedure where the organ is removed, the tumor excised and the organ reattached. Then begins the radiation and chemo.
In some case people do die after the procedure but their life is lengthened by the procedure and their quality of life is maintained for an extended period of time.

I don't think it is survivable.

A woman I knew survived 5 more years after diagnosis and chemo. Then suddenly it was back and within a month, she passed away.
