What causes bone cancer recurrence after surgery

Bone tumors are tumors that occur in bones or their attached tissues. They can be benign or malignant. Malignant bone tumors, commonly known as "bone cancer," develop rapidly, have a poor prognosis, and a high mortality rate. Malignant bone tumors are divided into primary and secondary. Malignant tumors from other tissues or organs in the body are circulated through the blood. So what causes postoperative bone cancer recurrence?

1. Related to age. Affected by the level of cell metabolism, the malignancy of elderly bone cancer patients is relatively low and the prognosis is better, while the malignancy of young patients is relatively high, the prognosis is poor, and they are more likely to relapse.

2. Low immunity. Many bone cancer patients already have low immunity before surgery. In addition, the trauma of surgery and anesthesia have a blow to the body's resistance, which leads to lower immunity. If you do not pay attention to strengthening nutrition after surgery and fail to restore immunity in time, it will provide opportunities for tumor recurrence or metastasis. For bone cancer patients, bad mood and excessive mental stress are also prone to recurrence.

Irregular life. Chinese medicine believes that an important point in keeping healthy is to "go to bed early and get up early, and have a regular daily routine", which means that people should have a regular life, which is beneficial to health. Some bone cancer patients do not pay attention to daily details after recovery, often overeating, day and night reversal, excessive drinking, smoking, which leads to a decrease in the body's resistance and gives bone cancer an opportunity to recur.
