Will bile duct cancer recur after early surgery?

Cancer has taken the lives of countless people and is a disease that scares everyone, because cancer is not only extremely difficult to cure, but also prone to recurrence. Patients often suffer from postoperative chemotherapy. Biliary duct cancer is also a type of cancer, so will bile duct cancer recur after early surgery?

Cholangiocarcinoma refers to a malignant tumor of the digestive system that originates from the confluence of the left and right hepatic ducts to the lower end of the common bile duct. Primary cholangiocarcinoma is rare. For early patients, treatment is very promising, and surgical treatment is one of the methods used by many patients. Cholangiocarcinoma will not recur after recovery, right? Is this really the case? Clinical cure of cholangiocarcinoma means no recurrence five years after surgery. In fact, two years after surgery is the peak period of recurrence. Once five years have passed, the chance of recurrence is relatively small. However, a relatively small chance of recurrence does not mean that there will be no recurrence. The risk still exists.

From this point of view, early bile duct cancer is likely to recur after surgery, and recurrence will undoubtedly plunge the patient into the vortex of pain again. Cancer treatment is a systematic, long and complicated process. For cancer treatment, some patients want to cure it once and for all by surgery, chemotherapy and other methods. However, they do not know that cancer treatment is like fighting a tough battle. It is not a matter of one day or one night, and requires cooperation from many aspects. Many patients do not pay attention to consolidation treatment after surgery. Postoperative patients also need to undergo two months of traditional Chinese medicine consolidation treatment every year.

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.
