Prostate cancer recurrence time

Prostate cancer may not recur, or it may recur within 1-5 years. The specific judgment needs to be made based on the actual situation of the patient.

Prostate cancer is a malignant tumor originating from the prostate. The tumor in the early stage of the disease is limited to the prostate, and no lymphatic metastasis and distant metastasis occur. If the disease is improved through radical surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, etc. at this time, some patients may not relapse, and some patients may relapse in about 5 years. However, if the disease has entered the middle or late stage, clinical treatment is likely to be incomplete. At this time, the recurrence rate is relatively fast, and may occur in about 1 year.

Prostate cancer patients need to be reviewed regularly after treatment to detect recurrence in time. They usually pay attention to a light diet, quit smoking and alcohol.
