Esophagus cancer

Dear doctor, my father (55yr) is detected with esophagus cancer 5 months back. During that time doctor said its not operable due to big size. After 5 chemo & 28 radiation size is reduced by 50%. Now doctor said it can be operated. We are in confusion to operate or not? Is there any option to avoid operation? People say once operation is done it spreads fast in other organs. Latest pet after chemo says” reduction in size & metabolic activity of previously seen para-esophageal node. Weakly metabolic gastrohepatic - left upper paratracheal nodes - remain unchanged. We need your lifesaving guidance.

MIBG scan report clarification

Hello, I was recently suspected for pheochromocytoma by my cardiologist and was advised for the plasma test and 24 hr urine test for my uncontrolled blood pressure for the past 7 years. 4 years back the symptoms of anxiety and panic attacks began and it still continues even after taking antidepressants and anti-anxiety pills from psychiatrists. Subsequent to the higher metanephrine and normetanephrine counts in plasma test was referred for MIBG scan at Tata Hospital Mumbai which I did today. The text report shall be available on 21st January but was given a hard copy of the scan results which is enclosed along with blood report taken. Need your opinion if the MIBG report points out to the presence of tumor? If yes which body parts are likely affected as per the report? And are there chances that if tumor exists it could be cancerous?
