Does Kidney Cancer Tend to Recur After Radical Nephrectomy?
Radical nephrectomy may lead to recurrence after surgery. If the patient does not pay attention to post-operative care, has poor physical fitness, or suffers from other diseases, it may lead to recurrence of the disease.
1. Lack of care: If the patient does not perform daily care properly after radical nephrectomy, such as frequently eating spicy or stimulating foods, smoking, or drinking alcohol, it may affect wound healing and increase the risk of post-operative infection, potentially leading to disease recurrence.
2. Poor physical fitness: If the patient's physical condition is poor and has not fully recovered after radical nephrectomy, it is also prone to post-operative recurrence. It is recommended that patients strengthen nutrition intake and exercise regularly to improve their physical condition and prevent post-operative recurrence.
3. No other diseases: Radical nephrectomy is a surgical procedure that removes the kidney to directly remove the diseased tissue and achieve therapeutic effects. However, any surgery has risks, and surgery causes trauma to the local area, requiring time for the body to recover. If there are no other complications or comorbidities, such as hypertension or diabetes, after surgery, recurrence is generally unlikely.
If a patient suffers from chronic nephritis or kidney cysts, these diseases may induce the occurrence of kidney cancer. Radical nephrectomy is only a treatment method and cannot completely cure the primary disease. Therefore, when the primary disease is not controlled, it can lead to the regrowth and metastasis of kidney cancer, causing recurrence. In such cases, it is necessary to actively cooperate with doctors in adopting targeted treatments to effectively control disease progression.
Whether or not radical nephrectomy will recur depends on various factors and varies from person to person. It is recommended that patients maintain a good mindset, avoid excessive tension and anxiety, and regularly visit the hospital for follow-up examinations to understand their physical condition.
