Will early uterine cancer recur?

Uterine cancer actually refers to endometrial cancer, which occurs in the inner layer of the uterus. It is a common cancer in the female reproductive system and ranks fourth among the most common cancers in women. It is more common in women aged 50 to 60, often occurring after menopause. In recent years, the incidence rate has been on the rise worldwide. Surgery is the main treatment for early uterine cancer. So, will early uterine cancer recur later after removal?

Although early uterine cancer tumors are small and can be directly removed by surgery, there may still be some hidden cancer cells in the patient's body after surgery, which cannot be detected by imaging. In addition, because surgery damages the human immune system, a series of surgical complications occur, and the body's ability to resist disease decreases, making it easy to be invaded by various diseases. The surgery itself is mostly palliative local resection, which cannot remove all lesions. If consolidation treatment is not emphasized after surgery, recurrence and metastasis are likely to occur. Therefore, this also reminds patients to pay attention to the prevention of recurrence after surgery. So how can patients with uterine cancer prevent recurrence after surgical treatment?

1. Consolidation of treatment with traditional Chinese medicine

Since surgery cannot completely remove residual cancer cells in the body, Chinese medicine should be taken promptly after surgery to consolidate the therapeutic effect. The medicinal power can reach the lesions directly. Traditional Chinese medicine has the effects of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, clearing away heat and detoxifying, softening and dispersing nodules. It can completely remove residual cancer cells that are invisible to the naked eye, prevent recurrence and spread, alleviate symptoms and pain, improve quality of life, and effectively prolong survival.

2. Proper diet

In addition to Chinese medicine conditioning after surgery for uterine cancer, diet is also very important. Nutrients should be replenished as much as possible. Protein, sugar, fat, vitamins, etc. can be consumed reasonably. Anti-cancer foods, such as lotus root, coix seed, hawthorn, black fungus, black plum, etc., are suitable for nourishing foods, such as turtle, pigeon eggs, chicken, etc. Uterine cancer can choose high-protein, high-calorie foods, such as milk, eggs, beef, turtle, red bean, mung bean, fresh lotus root, spinach, winter melon, apple, etc.

After uterine cancer surgery, the diet should be adjusted to replenish qi and blood, and produce essence and replenish essence, such as yam, longan, mulberry, wolfberry, pork liver, turtle, sesame, donkey hide glue, etc.

3. Regular review

Even after surgery, uterine cancer may still recur. Regular check-ups are required, one month, three months, and six months after surgery. After one year, it is best to have a check-up every six months. At the same time, you should develop good living habits, avoid too much stress, and exercise and take Chinese medicine to minimize the possibility of recurrence.

Will early uterine cancer recur later after removal? I hope the above introduction will be helpful to everyone. No matter how successful the surgery is, uterine cancer still has the possibility of recurrence. Postoperative auxiliary Chinese medicine treatment can effectively remove residual cancer cells after surgery and improve the success rate of surgery. At the same time, developing good habits in life and maintaining an optimistic attitude will be of great help to the recovery of the disease.
