Lung cancer recurrence rate is high

The recurrence rate of lung cancer can not be generalized. This is related to the malignant degree of lung cancer, the size of the tumor, the presence or absence of lymph nodes and distant metastases, the response to comprehensive treatment and individual differences. If the early lung cancer is small, there is no lymph node metastasis, no distant metastasis. The surgical treatment effect is good, the individual resistance is strong, and the postoperative 5-year survival rate can reach more than 90%. The recurrence rate of this lung cancer is low. Lung cancer in the middle and late stages has shown lymph node and distant organ metastasis, even after comprehensive treatment effect is poor, lung cancer 5-year survival rate is also low, recurrence rate is also high.
