Does Cancer Recur After Proton and Heavy Ion Therapy?

Proton heavy ion generally refers to proton heavy ion therapy technology. Whether proton heavy ion therapy technology will recur after treating cancer cannot be generalized. If the cancer is relatively minor, it may not recur. If the cancer is more serious, it may recur and require active cooperation with doctors for other treatments. Cancer is usually a malignant tumor originating from epithelial tissue, which is usually related to genetic factors and long-term exposure to harmful chemicals. Proton heavy ion therapy technology is a kind of radiotherapy that can inhibit the growth of tumor cells, thereby achieving the purpose of treating diseases. If the tumor volume caused by cancer is relatively small and there is no diffusion, it may not recur after treatment, but regular hospital follow-up is required. If the tumor volume caused by cancer is relatively large and there is also diffusion, recurrence may occur after treatment. At this time, surgical resection of the lesion can be performed, and chemotherapy should also be used as adjuvant treatment to inhibit the growth and diffusion of cancer cells. In daily life, it is necessary to take more rest and avoid excessive fatigue. At the same time, it is necessary to maintain a good mindset, avoid excessive stress, and avoid aggravating the condition. If the condition is serious, it is recommended to seek medical treatment in a formal hospital.
