A cancerous embolus seen in the vasculature does not necessarily metastasize.
Vascular cancer embolus does not necessarily metastasize, but vascular cancer embolus is a high risk factor for recurrence and metastasis after surgery. These patients are prone to recurrence and metastasis and need postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Vascular cancer embolus is the phenomenon that the tumor has invaded the surrounding lymph and blood vessels, suggesting that the patient’s lesion has been locally invaded. Cancer embolus in blood vessel is not carcinoma in situ, and the possibility of distant metastasis of the lesion through vascular system cannot be excluded.
Imaging examinations such as CT and magnetic resonance can be used to evaluate whether there is clear lymph node or organ metastasis. Even if there is no clear metastasis, regular review is necessary because it is currently difficult to detect metastases smaller than 5mm on imaging. Vascular cancer embolization is an important aspect of evaluating the prognosis of malignant tumors and can guide patients to choose the next treatment option.
It is recommended to have regular postoperative checkups on time, and when cancerous embolism is detected in the vasculature to, seek medical treatment promptly and receive standardized treatment under the guidance of the doctor, so as to avoid delaying the condition.
