Hello,
I am sorry to hear of your husbands medical issues over the years.
The principles of treatment of any cancer at an early stage involve local therapy (surgery), regional therapy (radiation) and systemic therapy (chemotherapy).
In case he decides not to have surgery, it may have a big impact on the eventual outcome. In other words, chances of cure are higher if he undergoes full therapy including surgery. Outcomes of surgery for early stage esophageal cancer have improved with recent advances.
All the best, and God Bless!
