The recurrence rate of stage I colon cancer is low, and after active treatment, the recurrence rate is about 5%.
Colon cancer is a common, malignant tumor caused by heredity, bad dietary habits and other factors. Stage I lesions are usually more limited, without lymph node metastasis and distant metastasis. At this time, radical surgical resection is mostly feasible, and radiotherapy is supplemented according to the condition after surgery. After active treatment, the recurrence rate of early stage colon cancer patients is about 5%.
After surgery, patients should pay attention to regular checkups, such as every 3-6 months for the first two years; then every half a year until the fifth year; after that, every year. Maintain good living habits in daily life, such as diligent exercise. This can reduce the recurrence rate and prolong the survival period to a certain extent.
