Is the recurrence rate high after benign tumor resection?

Tumor is one of the most common diseases in modern life. Tumor is also called cancer. It is a manifestation of abnormal proliferation of tissue cells. Severe tumors will pose a serious threat to physical health and endanger life safety. Tumors are divided into benign and malignant. Generally speaking, benign tumors are relatively mild and controllable. Let’s take a look at whether the recurrence rate is high after resection of benign tumors?

1. Recurrence rate after benign tumor resection

Tumor recurrence often occurs within five years after treatment, especially within 2 to 3 years. Follow-up visits during this period are very important. Once new cancer cells are found, they must be “eradicated” in a timely manner. Regular follow-up visits are lifelong, and the closer you are to the end of treatment, the shorter the interval between follow-up visits should be.

2. Causes of cancer recurrence

2.1. Patient’s cancer constitution

The reason why cancer patients get cancer is because their body environment has a "cancerous constitution".

2.2 Incomplete surgery

Surgery can remove cancer cells that have formed a mass. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy can kill all or part of the adult cancer cells, but they are not very effective against juvenile cancer cells.

2.3. No regular follow-up visits

The mortality rate of cancer is relatively high due to the invasive, recurrent and metastatic characteristics of cancer. One of the main ways to prevent cancer recurrence is to have follow-up visits.

2.4. No further cancer treatment

Cancer cells exist in the body of tumor patients for a long time. They must persist in treatment for 3 years after surgery and can only feel relieved if there is no recurrence or metastasis.

2.5. Low immunity

The cells in a normal human body metabolize day and night, forming 100 trillion new cells every day.

3. Dietary principles for cancer patients after surgery

3.1. Lack of fat lipids can lead to impaired wound healing. Fish oil is rich in fatty acids, has anti-inflammatory effects, and is beneficial to wound healing.

3.2. Glucose is the main energy supplier for the human body, and supplying sufficient energy is essential for wound healing.

3.3. Protein: Increasing protein in the diet can promote wound healing and reduce the chance of infection. Foods rich in protein include various lean meats, milk, eggs, etc.

3.4. Vitamin A can promote wound healing. It is mainly found in foods such as fish oil, carrots, and tomatoes.

3.5. Vitamin C can promote wound healing. It exists in various vegetables and fruits. Jujubes and peppers are treasure troves of vitamin C.
