Now I will tell you the period that we should pay attention to after renal cancer surgery, hoping to help you.

Recurrence symptoms of early renal cell carcinoma?

First of all, patients with renal cell carcinoma should closely observe the changes of vital signs after operation. After operation, we should pay attention to the changes of temperature, blood pressure, pulse and limb color, especially the pulsation of dorsalis pedis artery, peripheral blood supply and skin temperature.

Some patients with renal cell carcinoma have decreased immune defense function due to the decrease of organism immunity; Combined with the impact of surgical trauma and anesthesia on the body's resistance, these patients have lower immunity after surgery. Patients should improve their immunity in time after surgery. If they can't improve their immunity effectively, they often have tumor recurrence after surgery; Even after radical operation, recurrence may occur in the long term.

If we only pay attention to the recent curative effect and narrow the scope of radical nephrectomy from the perspective of trauma, a small amount of cancer tissue or metastatic lymph nodes that are difficult to find by naked eye will remain in the abdominal cavity. What's more serious is that we ignore the comprehensive treatment. Even in the postoperative patients recover well, but after a period of time there will still be cancer recurrence.
