Is it a recurrence if the nodules appear again after liver cancer surgery?

The appearance of nodules again after liver cancer surgery is not necessarily a recurrence, further examination is needed to clarify. After liver cancer surgery, some patients once again develop nodules, which may be benign nodules, usually spherical, round or oval, with relatively smooth and neat edges and softer in nature. This type of nodules may be hepatic hemangiomas, hepatic cysts, which are not related to recurrence of liver cancer. However, the condition may recur again after liver cancer surgery. At this time, the examination will find nodules in liver tissues, which will gradually increase in size with the passage of time, and the nodules are round or oval in shape, and the nodules of individual patients may be fused, and the edges are rough and the borders are not clear. If nodules appear again after liver cancer surgery, it is recommended to consult doctor in time and analyze the nature of nodules through pathological biopsy before treatment.
