Lung cancer is one of the most common malignancies, and its early detection and** is crucial for patient survival. However, even after surgical removal, lung cancer is still possible**. This article will explain why lung cancer happens after surgery and how to take precautions to reduce your risk.
1. Causes of lung cancer after surgery
1. Residual microlesions:During the procedure, there may be some remnants of tiny lesions that cannot be seen with the naked eye or under the microscope. Over time, these residual lesions may develop into tumors.
2. The spread of cancer cellsLung cancer cells may have spread to other parts of the body through the bloodstream or lymphatic system before surgery. Surgery can only remove the primary tumor, but it cannot affect these cancer cells that have spread.
3. Drug resistance of tumor cells:Some lung cancer cells may be resistant to chemotherapy drugs or targeted drugs, making them less effective.
4. Staging of lung cancer:The stage of lung cancer is an important factor in the risk of **. The later the staging, the higher the risk.
2. How to reduce the risk of lung cancer after surgery
1. Choose the appropriate surgical methodAccording to the stage of lung cancer and the patient's physical condition, choose the appropriate surgical method, such as lobectomy, segmentectomy, etc.
2. Auxiliary**:After surgery, appropriate adjuvants**, such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or targeting**, are given as recommended by your doctor to reduce the risk.

5. Psychological adjustment:Maintaining a positive mindset can help boost confidence in beating the disease and reduce the risk of cancer**.
Cancer In conclusion, there are many causes of lung cancer surgery, including the remnant of small lesions, the spread of cancer cells, the drug resistance of tumor cells, and the stage of lung cancer. In order to reduce the risk of lung cancer surgery**, patients should choose the right surgical method, have appropriate adjunct**, have regular follow-up, maintain a healthy lifestyle, and have a positive and optimistic attitude. It is believed that through these measures, we can minimize the risk of lung cancer surgery and improve the quality of life and survival of patients.
