Will bile duct cancer recur after recovery?

Cancer has taken away countless lives and is a disease that scares everyone. Cancer is indeed a terrible disease that often recurs. Biliary duct cancer is also a type of cancer. Many patients and friends worry about whether bile duct cancer will recur after recovery. Let us learn about it together.

Many patients do not want to suffer from disease, especially tumor diseases such as bile duct cancer. For early-stage patients, surgery is a common option. However, because surgery only removes lesions visible to the naked eye, cancer cells remaining in the blood or lymph cannot be completely eliminated, the recurrence rate 1-3 years after surgery is relatively high.

The peak period of recurrence is two years after surgery. Once five years have passed, the chance of recurrence is relatively small. However, the small chance of recurrence does not mean that there will be no recurrence. The risk still exists, so patients should not take it lightly and eat and drink too much, have irregular work and rest, etc. At the same time, postoperative consolidation treatment is also necessary.

Patients with bile duct cancer should eat a light and nutritious diet. Eat more vegetables, fruits, milk, soft-shelled turtles and other nourishing foods rich in amino acids, vitamins, proteins and easy to digest. Eat less greasy and heavy food; eat less dog meat, mutton and other warm nourishing foods; eat less seafood without shells, bamboo shoots, taro and other foods that are easy to cause allergies; eat less drinks and snacks containing chemicals, preservatives and additives. Avoid irritants such as too sour, too spicy, too salty, tobacco and alcohol.

At the same time, patients should also adjust their own state, get rid of negative emotions such as pessimism, despair, and depression, live and treat with a calm, happy, and positive attitude, fight the cancer with the belief that they will win, not be impatient for success, and be prepared for a protracted battle and long-term treatment until the cancer is completely defeated.
