How to avoid recurrence of tongue cancer after surgery

For patients with tongue cancer, surgery is generally chosen for treatment. However, tongue cancer is a relatively stubborn disease. Surgery is very harmful to the body and cannot completely eliminate cancer cells. The chance of recurrence after surgery is also very high. Many people do not know how to avoid the recurrence of cancer cells after surgery. Today we will talk about how to avoid the recurrence of tongue cancer after surgery.

To prevent the recurrence of tongue cancer after surgery, you can start from the following aspects:

1. Reasonable diet: Family members should ensure that tongue cancer patients have a diet that contains sufficient nutrition for their body to absorb. Because a healthy and reasonable diet will not only ensure that patients have adequate nutrition, but also assist in the treatment, which is beneficial to the development of the patient's condition and promotes early recovery of the patient.

2. Adjust your mood: Family members must be patient and careful in caring for the patient, and pay attention to their words and actions, because the patient is more sensitive at this time, so the words and actions of the family members may cause mental stress to the patient, which is not conducive to recovery. Patients should also pay attention to adjusting their emotions during the recovery period, because the quality of their emotions will directly affect the severity of their illness. Only by building confidence can they promote early recovery.

3. Keep the room clean and ventilated, and maintain hygiene to prevent patients from getting infected after surgery, which may aggravate their condition and affect the treatment effect.

4. Postoperative consolidation therapy. After surgical treatment of thyroid cancer, there are still residual cancer cells and microscopic lesions in the patient's body. We need to carry out postoperative consolidation therapy to reduce the chance of postoperative recurrence.

5. Check your body regularly. If you find any abnormalities, you can take control measures early to prevent the disease from being delayed and increase the difficulty of treatment.

The treatment of tongue cancer is a long-term, arduous, and complex systematic project. We must actively prevent it in our daily life, persist in treatment after the disease occurs, strictly prevent recurrence after surgery, improve the patient's quality of life, and maximize the patient's life span.
