Lung cancer patients are generally rechecked every three months within three years after surgical treatment, every half a year during three to five years, and every year after five years. Specifics should be analyzed in the light of patient’s condition.
The causes of lung cancer have not been fully clarified so far, and the causative factors mainly include smoking, environmental pollution, occupational exposure, radiation and so on. After diagnosis, the treatment is a comprehensive treatment mainly based on surgical resection. In order to reduce the recurrence rate and improve the cure rate, regular review is often needed after surgery.
In addition to regular checkups, patients should quit smoking and maintain good lifestyle habits. Increase the content of vegetables, fruits and grains in the diet, and pay attention to rest and proper exercise in life.
