The severity of stage 0 lung cancer one year after surgery is related to the type of local pathology, therapeutic effect and patient’s status, etc. Most of them can be cured by surgery, but there is also the possibility of recurrence, so it is recommended to have timely and standardized treatment.
Postoperative recurrence of lung cancer is divided into two categories, local recurrence and distant metastasis, and postoperative recurrence or metastasis is also possible after stage 0 lung cancer, local recurrence is the recurrence not far away from the original lesion, and distant metastasis refers to the transfer of cancer cells to the liver, bone and brain, etc. The rate of postoperative recurrence of lung cancer is related to the staging of the disease and there is the possibility of recurrence even in early stage lung cancer.
Even early stage lung cancer may have recurrence. Stage 0 lung cancer needs regular review after surgery, and if there is any discomfort, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time to get clear diagnosis and treatment, so as to avoid delaying the condition.
