Will lung cancer relapse after radical surgery? It may happen, so be careful

The recurrence of lung cancer surgery depends on the specific situation. If it is very early stage lung cancer, especially if the diameter of the ground glass nodule is less than 1cm, the chance of recurrence after treatment is relatively small, but if distant metastasis is found, the recurrence rate is extremely high. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to follow-up after surgery and to prevent recurrence.

Lung cancer is a disease that is harmful to health. It has many causes and a high incidence rate. Early detection of symptoms and treatment can help you get a chance of recovery. Many patients are also very worried after being cured because they know that cancer may recur. So will lung cancer recur after radical surgery?
The recurrence of lung cancer surgery depends on the specific situation. If it is very early stage lung cancer, especially the diameter of ground glass nodules is less than 1cm, the recurrence rate of patients with postoperative pathological confirmation of carcinoma in situ or microinvasive adenocarcinoma is very low, and the basic cure rate is above 99%. As the stage of lung cancer progresses, if there is lymph node metastasis, there is a certain chance of recurrence, so it is important to do a good job of reexamination after recovery.
If lung cancer is metastatic during surgery, especially after surgery, the recurrence rate is extremely high. Therefore, the recurrence of lung cancer patients after surgery depends on the stage of lung cancer at the time of surgery. The earlier the treatment, the lower the probability of recurrence. Generally speaking, after lung cancer surgery, it is generally recommended to have a checkup every three months in the first two years after surgery. From the second to the fifth year, it is recommended to have a checkup every six months. If there is no recurrence or metastasis after five years, the lung cancer is considered to be clinically cured and only needs to be checked once a year.
Because lung cancer may recur after radical cure, you must pay attention to prevention and control your diet. You cannot eat foods that affect recovery. You can eat more light foods, some anti-cancer foods, and more fruits and vegetables to fully absorb nutrients and promote recovery.
In addition, it is important to prevent infection after treatment and reduce the occurrence of colds, which can easily induce the occurrence of the disease. Patients can choose the exercise that suits them and increase immunity through exercise to better reduce the recurrence of the disease.
Finally, patients should pay attention to maintaining an optimistic mood. If they are too sad and worry about whether the disease will relapse all day, it will affect their physical health. They should observe their bodies, maintain their emotions, and maintain their physical health.
