Can recurrence of bile duct cancer be treated with surgery?

Can surgery be performed if bile duct cancer recurs? This is a question that many patients want to know. Because cancer may recur in many cases, they all want to know whether they can still be treated with surgery to give themselves a chance to save their lives. Let us now understand whether surgery is a treatment option for bile duct cancer recurrence.

Many patients with bile duct cancer are not recommended to undergo surgery if their disease recurs after surgery. However, for patients who have lost the chance of surgery or whose cancer cells have recurred or metastasized to advanced stages of the disease, this treatment can help alleviate their clinical symptoms while gradually restoring their immune system. Some patients have experienced tumor shrinkage or even disappearance, or have survived with the tumor for a long time.

After surgery, bile duct cancer is not completely cured. There is a risk of recurrence and metastasis of bile duct cancer cells. Let's learn how to prevent recurrence:

Traditional Chinese medicine has the anti-tumor effect of inhibiting the growth of residual cancer cells after bile duct cancer surgery, inducing cancer cell apoptosis, and reversing the abnormal differentiation of cancer cells. It can effectively control the growth of residual cancer cells in patients after bile duct cancer surgery and prevent the recurrence and metastasis of cancer cells. Traditional Chinese medicine can help improve the patient's immunity. On the one hand, it can speed up the patient's recovery after surgery. On the other hand, it can improve immunity and enhance the ability of immune cells to resist the invasion of residual bile duct cancer cells, thereby preventing the spread of bile duct cancer cells.

Intravenous fluid replacement and antibiotics: according to the needs of the condition, intravenous fluid replacement and maintenance of water, electrolyte and acid-base balance are performed. Antibiotics are used to prevent postoperative infection.

Diet care: Since LC surgery is less invasive, patients should be encouraged to eat and move early. After the patient wakes up from anesthesia, they can try to drink a small amount of boiled water. If there is no choking, nausea, or vomiting, they can eat. A light, easy-to-digest, high-calorie, high-vitamin, and high-protein diet is appropriate.
