Lung cancer may still metastasize after cutting off the right lung.
Lung cancer surgery only removes the tumor, but there will still be residual cancer cells in the patient’s body. At this time, if not treated in time, after a period of time, lung cancer patients will have the possibility of metastasis and recurrence.
Regular review should be conducted after lung cancer surgery to detect tumor metastasis or recurrence at an early stage. The spread of cancer cells after lung cancer surgery cannot be generalized, which is related to the treatment method of lung cancer, regular review and so on. The metastatic pathways of lung cancer mainly include implantation metastasis, blood system metastasis, lymph node metastasis and direct spread. The earlier the lung cancer is detected clinically, the lower the probability of metastasis.
It is recommended to have regular checkups, take medication and prevention regularly, and actively cooperate with treatment in order to improve one’s immunity and help patients reduce the chances of recurrence and metastasis.
