Is the chance of skin cancer recurring high?

There are many kinds of cancers that occur around us in our daily lives. Cancer can occur in many of our organs and is generally difficult to treat or has poor treatment effects. It is one of the main causes of death in patients. Therefore, it goes without saying how harmful it is to humans, and everyone knows it. However, not many people know about basal skin cancer that occurs on the skin. Some patients are still worried about whether it will recur after treatment. Let us analyze it.

Basal skin cancer is a type of skin cancer that is very common among the elderly. It is prone to occur on the head and face of patients and is prone to ulceration. It often looks scary and brings fear to patients and others. In fact, although basal skin cancer is a malignant tumor histologically, it is behaviorally benign. Therefore, many patients with basal skin cancer have a long survival period after treatment and the treatment effect is relatively good. It should be a low-grade malignant tumor.

Because basal skin cancer is benign in biological behavior and is very sensitive to radiotherapy, the treatment effect is very good. The treatment methods include surgical resection, radiotherapy, laser and even chemotherapy. Basal skin cancer grows slowly and rarely metastasizes. Whether it will recur cannot be generalized. It depends on the individual's daily maintenance and treatment. If the patient can pay attention to diet after treatment, maintain good living and eating habits, pay more attention to rest, do not smoke or drink, can ensure his emotional stability, less angry, and think about everything, the probability of recurrence is generally low. On the contrary, the recurrence rate may be high. But in general, the chance of recurrence of this disease is about 10%, and the possibility of recurrence is not high.

No matter what disease we have, mentality is very important, especially for cancer patients, of course including basal skin cancer. We must maintain a good mentality and not be afraid. We must know that having cancer does not necessarily mean death. As long as we actively receive treatment and pay attention to daily maintenance, it is not a dream for cancer patients to live to a normal age.
