Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Sorry to say that cancer does recur if there is any tissue left behind since this can't be differentiated whether it's cancerous tissue or normal. It’s beyond scope of a man to know. Kindly get biopsy done and if found cancerous, get it removed. Hope you make up your mind for it.
I hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you have any further questions. Regards, Dr. Archana
