Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Treatment of esophageal cancer depends on type and stage of cancer. In early stage surgery is possible. In late stage surgery is not possible. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy is the treatment. At age of 80 surgery is risky. So cardiac function and other parameters should be checked first. Please send me details of her reports so that I can help you further.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/Drsanghvihardik, I will be happy to answer you.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
