It is often asked, which cancers have a high recurrence rate? How can I prevent relapse? Let's discuss this topic
today.

Whether cancer is easy to recur is mainly based on the following "indicators" (influencing factors):

1.
Pathological characteristics of cancer

Talking about the recurrence rate of cancer purely from the type of cancer is essentially the impact
of the biological characteristics and behavior of cancer on recurrence.
From this point of view, in general, those cancers that are highly aggressive, grow and develop rapidly, and cancers with low differentiation or undifferentiated cancers, under the same conditions, usually have a higher probability of recurrence, just like those who are worse are more likely to commit crimes in the future, which means
similarly.

But in fact, these cancers are usually more sensitive to chemotherapy, and many of them have the possibility of curing even in the advanced stage, and sometimes they become treatable cancers, such as villous carcinoma, some types of lymphoma, etc
.
For example, cancers that usually have a high recurrence rate such as pancreatic cancer, cholangiocarcinoma, esophageal cancer, etc
.
Thyroid cancer (differentiated type), breast cancer (not triple negative type), colorectal cancer, etc.
have a relatively low recurrence rate
.
However, as mentioned earlier, things are far from simple, and the recurrence rate is affected
by many factors.

2.
Stage of cancer

Staging is a very important influencing factor, usually the earlier the cancer is found, the earlier the stage, the lower the probability of recurrence, conversely, the later the stage, the higher the recurrence rate, which is well understood
.

For example, stage 1 lung cancer, and stage 3 lung cancer, are also surgically removed, of course, the recurrence rate of stage 3 lung cancer is higher than stage 1 lung cancer, so stage 1 lung cancer can be operated without chemotherapy, and stage 3 lung cancer is chemotherapy after surgery, and the purpose of postoperative chemotherapy is to reduce the risk of
recurrence.

Some people will say that there is also a recurrence in phase 1
.
Yes, so just to say that the probability of 1 phase is more likely to recur than 3 period, not that phase 1 will definitely not recur, stage 3 will definitely recur, many things are probability, thinking about problems must have probability thinking, dialectical thinking, do not go to extremes, can not be absolute.

3.
Whether cancer treatment is standardized

The pathological characteristics and stage of cancer, which are already unchangeable at the time of diagnosis, whether the cancer will recur, the most critical thing is standardized treatment
.
Non-standard treatment will make patients who do not recur prone to recurrence, for example, the treatment that should be done is not done, or it is not done enough, the operation is not standardized, the resection is not complete, the resection margin is positive, the number of lymph nodes is not cleaned enough, the adjuvant treatment before or after surgery is not standardized or simply not done.
.
.
These increase the chance of
recurrence.
Treatment is standardized, with the lowest risk of recurrence under the
same conditions.

4.
Patient and family factors

The patient's lifestyle, mental and psychological state, and family support also have a certain impact on
the recurrence.
The same cancer, the same stage, the same standard treatment, some patients have relapsed, some do not recur, whether the parties pay attention to maintaining a good lifestyle and eating habits, regular work and rest, peaceful and optimistic mental state, and good family atmosphere in subsequent life, may play an important role
.

In short, it cannot be simply said which cancer has a high recurrence rate, but a comprehensive analysis of various factors such as the pathological type, stage, whether the treatment is standardized, and the patient's own lifestyle and mental state, cannot be generalized
.

How can cancer relapse be avoided after treatment?

Preventing recurrence, to be precise, is reducing the probability of
recurrence.
If you want to prevent tumor recurrence, or to reduce the probability of tumor recurrence as much as possible, you need to do the following:

1.
The most important thing is to standardize treatment

Standardized treatment can minimize the probability of recurrence, otherwise recurrence is inevitable, so we must choose the right hospital to choose the right department, and then cooperate with the doctor for standardized treatment, good doctors also need patients and families to cooperate well, good compliance, otherwise the effect is greatly reduced
.

2.
Regular follow-up and review to detect recurrence and metastasis at an early stage

Many people attach great importance to treatment, and once the treatment is over, they think that they can sit back and relax and no longer seek a doctor, which is not right
.
After all the treatment is over, it is still necessary to regularly find the doctor in charge for follow-up review, the purpose of which is to monitor the long-term adverse reactions that may be caused by previous chemotherapy and radiotherapy, on the other hand, to give some necessary guidance on life and diet, and to supervise some oral treatment drugs that require a longer term, such as adjuvant endocrine therapy after breast cancer surgery to insist on 5-10 years, need to be carried out under the supervision of doctors, and on the other hand, follow-up review can detect recurrence early for early treatment
.

After the first treatment of cancer, some patients will recur, tumor recurrence does not mean that there is no hope of treatment, a considerable number of patients through active treatment, it is still possible to survive for a long time or even strive for cure
.
Therefore, we must pay attention to follow-up examination, early detection of recurrence, and good
treatment effect.

3.
Take care of immunity and maintain a good lifestyle

I think most people know, the key is that many people do not do it, or because they cannot see the direct benefits, many people do not pay attention to it, do not actually implement, such as quitting smoking and limiting alcohol, staying away from street junk food, eating a balanced and diverse, ingredients should be as fresh as possible, moderate exercise, maintain a suitable weight, do not be obese and overweight, stay up late, adjust body and mind, maintain a healthy and good attitude, do not have an unbalanced mentality all day, know how to be grateful, have a natural and peaceful attitude, pay attention to the reduction of stress in work and life, and so on
。

Of course, if you have done the above points, it is not a guarantee that you will not relapse, how can there be 100% things? But one thing is certain: if your treatment is standardized, you have also done a good job of follow-up review and monitoring, your lifestyle and diet have been adjusted, your probability of recurrence will be relatively lower than those who have not done these measures, medicine is probability, not absolute
.
You don't take individual cases, such as so-and-so did a good job, but still recurred, so-and-so messed up, but did not recur, this basic logical problem, do not need me to help you refute it, if you can't even understand this, I can only be speechless
.
