Why is lung cancer easy to recur? Doctor: Most of these reasons are 'mischief', patients should pay attention!

Lung cancer is the malignant tumor with the highest incidence and the largest number of deaths in China. Every year, nearly 700,000 people in China die of lung cancer. Most of these patients have undergone long-term anti-cancer treatment, but eventually the cancer still recurs and metastasizes to other body organs and tissues.

　　This makes it difficult for many people to understand, and even blame the recurrence and metastasis of cancer on medical technology. It is believed that China's medical technology and drugs are not avant-garde and cannot resist the invasion of cancer cells, which eventually caused the patient's disease to recur and die again. But in fact, the recurrence of lung cancer is closely related to many factors.

　　In particular, the following reasons may be behind the recurrence of lung cancer:

1. Discovery is late

　　The root cause of lung cancer recurrence and metastasis lies in the early and late detection of the patient's condition.

　　Since the early symptoms of most lung cancer patients are not typical, or even have no symptoms at all, coupled with the lack of popularization of early lung cancer screening in China, many people are not aware of lung cancer vigilance , so that most of the patients are in the middle and late stages. After severe symptoms, I went to the doctor for examination and was finally diagnosed with lung cancer.

　　At this stage , the original cancer cells have already invaded and metastasized . Even if surgical treatment is possible, the postoperative recurrence rate is relatively high;

2. The effect of treatment

　　Of course, this does not mean that Chinese methods of treating cancer do not work, but that patients do not strictly follow doctor's orders, stop or change drugs at will, blindly try various remedies, keep changing doctors or hospitals, resist radiotherapy and chemotherapy , and so on.

　　This kind of irregular treatment behavior cannot completely kill cancer cells, which in turn leads to cancer metastasis and recurrence. In addition, failure to cooperate with the doctor for further treatment after surgery is also one of the common clinical reasons for recurrence;

3. Living habits have not improved

　　Some lung cancer patients did not improve their bad living habits during or after treatment.

　　For example, still smoking and drinking for a long time, preferring high-fat or high-calorie food, sedentary for a long time, poor , etc., will reduce the autoimmune function, increase the chance of the body being exposed to carcinogens , and then reduce the treatment effect, leading to cancer. relapse again;

4. Excessive mental stress

　　Most lung cancer patients experience long-term depression, depression and fear during the diagnosis and treatment process. Even after receiving regular treatment, I worry all day about cancer recurrence and metastasis.

　　The continued existence of this bad mood will not only lead to endocrine disorders, but also reduce autoimmune function , affect the recovery of the disease, and reduce the degree of cooperation between yourself and the doctor . Therefore, the clinic has always emphasized that it is necessary to have a good mood and mentality on the way to fight cancer.

　　Finally, it should be emphasized that the most typical features of cancer are recurrence and metastasis. Because of this, the treatment of cancer is quite difficult.

　　However, this does not mean that the fate of all cancer patients is the same. In fact, as long as everyone actively cooperates with doctors for treatment and regular review, the development of the disease can be controlled and the probability of cancer recurrence and metastasis in the future can be reduced. Therefore, it is better for patients to fully trust the doctor and maintain a positive and optimistic attitude instead of worrying about the world all day.
