Hello,
Thanks for providing more information.
Laparoscopy or thoracoscopic surgery is possible.
You can try Mayo clinic in US.
This is the link:
http://www.mayoclinic.org/thoracic-surgery/

The tumor has grown over 3.5 cm suggesting worsening of the cancer.
Hence, the prognosis is bad.
It is better to discuss with an oncologist to consider chemotherapy.
Best wishes
