What is the best way to cure esophageal cancer? (Answers: 2) (Comments: 6)

My father is suffering from esophageal cancer. The cancer has affected a nerve near his throat causing him to lose his voice. Also, it has already metastasized to two other organs. He has been treated with combined chemotherapy and radiation therapy for half a year, but his cancer shows no sign of shrinking and it's gradually growing. His doctor says he cannot surgically remove the cancer because the cancer is adjacent to nerves and important organs and such an operation will damage the adjacent areas. Isn't there any good way to cure his cancer?

Is there a good website to look up this information? I tried googling it I'm not getting any good results. I'm just curious as to what types of cancer I should be aware or concerned about. I am 18 and I know I shouldn't be too concerned about cancer at this age, but it does happen. I don't know my medical history and I have no idea whether my family has a history of cancer or not.
