Cancer prevention in spring: How to avoid cancer recurrence and metastasis? Cancer patients should keep these points in mind!

Spring is the season when everything comes back to life. As the saying goes, "A year's plan starts with spring." In spring, everything comes back to life and everything is prone to disease. For cancer patients, how can they avoid the recurrence and metastasis of cancer in spring? The following experts from Yiyang Central Hospital answer our questions one by one.

1. Good emotional management

The dry climate and large temperature changes in spring can easily lead to liver qi stagnation and irritability. Negative emotions are often the main factor in the decline of immunity . As the saying goes, "three parts of treatment and seven parts of mentality", cancer patients must pay attention to keeping a happy mood and do a good job of emotional management.

2. Balanced diet

A scientific and reasonable diet can help reduce the chance of recurrence of the disease in spring. In spring, it is advisable to eat more foods rich in protein, minerals, and vitamins , especially fresh seasonal vegetables and fruits.

3. Enhance immunity

Spring is the peak season for influenza. Cancer patients have low immunity. If they are infected with influenza, they are particularly prone to pneumonia, which can aggravate their condition and lead to tumor recurrence and metastasis . Therefore, do not take off your winter clothes too early. As the saying goes, "cover up in spring and keep cool in autumn", cancer patients should "cover up in spring". If you have cold symptoms, you need to see a doctor in time to avoid delaying the disease.

4. Appropriate exercise

Cancer patients should follow the characteristics of "progression" in spring to maintain their health, and make adjustments in diet, daily life, exercise, etc. Spring is the golden season for physical exercise, which can not only make the body's qi and blood flow smoothly, but also enhance physical fitness.

(V) Regular review

Regular follow-up is an essential part of the tumor treatment process . Only by understanding the tumor's condition in a timely manner can we provide a more scientific and effective treatment plan and improve the success rate of treatment. Therefore, we should take regular follow-up seriously and actively cooperate with doctors for examinations.
