Can Squamous Cell Carcinoma Be Back After Few Year?
Hi, I am a 54 year young lady and in 2002 I was diagnosed with invasive squamous cell carcinoma in my righr sinus cavity. After my face was layed open and tumor removed then went through 29 radiation treatments, and all has been great until a few weeks ago I have started having simular symptons and I waterpick sinus cavity now at least 3-4 times a week. Any suggestions? Thanks,Robbin
Squamous cell cancer of the sinus cavity might become recurrent in some people. It is important that you follow up with your doctor and then get evaluated for poosible recurrence. Medical literature says that squamous cell cancers have definite metastatic potential, and patients should be followed regularly after initial treatment. Overall, local recurrence rates after treatment of primary cancer ranged from about 3% to 23%, depending upon anatomic site. About 58% of local recurrences manifest within 1 year, 83% within 3 years, and 95% within 5 years.
Please consult your doctor at the earliest and take treatment should there be any recurrence. Please do not worry.
