After surgery for lung carcinoma in situ, the condition usually will not recur, but if carcinogenic factors still exist after surgery and the lesions in the body have not been completely removed, it may lead to recurrence of the condition.
If lung carcinoma in situ is induced by long-term exposure to chemical substances and frequent smoking, carcinogens will continue to stimulate the body if the patient continues to be exposed to chemical substances and smoke after surgery, thus increasing the chance of recurrence of lung carcinoma in situ after surgery.
Lung carcinoma in situ belongs to the early stage of lung cancer, and the lesions are still confined to the lungs, therefore, the disease can usually be cured through surgery. However, if the lesion is not completely removed during surgery, and some cancer cells remain in the body, then lung carcinoma in situ may recur after surgery.
Most of the patients will not have a recurrence of lung carcinoma in situ after surgery, but this is not absolute. Therefore, patients are advised to go to the hospital for regular checkups after surgery to determine their physical recovery and whether the Carcinoma in situ has recurred.
If lung carcinoma in situ recurs, patients are advised to go to the hospital as soon as possible for related treatment.
