Will lung cancer recur after surgery? How to reduce recurrence?

Lung cancer is relatively serious. Even if you actively receive surgical treatment after being diagnosed with lung cancer, if you do not pay attention to daily care, it is still possible for the disease to recur again. Therefore, in order to effectively reduce the recurrence, you should cough up phlegm as much as possible, get out of bed and move around as much as possible, and supplement more nutrition in your daily life.

Lung cancer is a particularly serious disease. Once it occurs, it is naturally difficult to cure it. Therefore, it should be taken seriously in daily life. While actively receiving treatment, some people want to know whether it will be less likely to relapse after choosing treatment. So will lung cancer relapse after surgery?
1. Will lung cancer recur after surgery? <br/>Currently, surgery is the main treatment for lung cancer. There is a 90% chance of cure after surgical treatment, but there is also the possibility of recurrence. Generally, when patients relapse, it is always within one year after treatment. Some patients may relapse within three years. Basically, if there is no recurrence for more than 5 years, it means that the disease is still under good control.

1. Cough up phlegm as much as possible <br/>During surgery, severe chest pain may occur, especially when coughing, the chest pain will be more severe. In this case, some patients may reduce coughing as much as possible, but they do not know that this will cause phlegm to accumulate in the trachea, and may also cause bacteria to continue to grow in the phlegm, which may cause infection and lead to repeated surgery.
2. Move as much as possible <br/>To effectively reduce the chance of recurrence after surgery, you can also choose to get out of bed and move around as soon as possible, which can quickly promote recovery from the disease. However, when moving around, you must also consider your personal condition, otherwise it may affect your recovery from the surgery.
3. More nutrition <br/>After surgery, the patient will lose a lot of protein and may even lose blood, so to effectively reduce recurrence, more protein should be supplemented. After supplementing the required protein, it can promote the growth of the wound and effectively enhance the body's immune ability, which can naturally reduce the occurrence of recurrence. Generally speaking, within 5 years after surgery, if no tumor appears, there is basically no chance of recurrence.
