Importance of post-treatment screenings

Hearing you are cancer-free is the best feeling! You finally step into the light at the end of the tunnel with a feeling of normalcy. However, in the rush to live life like your pre-cancer days, do not forget about follow-up appointments.

In spite of our doctors constantly asking patients to make sure they make it to every check-up after they are cancer free, I’ve seen patients get carried away and skip them. Some patients don’t realise the risk of missing even one of the follow-up health checks. The reason why our doctors are so keen on follow-ups is that it is highly crucial to keep looking for signs of cancer coming back. 

Cancer recurrence is, sadly, quite common. So, it is not only important to go through treatment on time but also monitor your health afterwards. Sometimes, there may be very small areas of cancer cells left in your body after treatment. This won’t be detectable through tests either. However, if these cells grow, they can be caught at the earliest during your timely follow-up checks.

At Apollo Proton Cancer Center, our doctors will discuss a post-treatment plan for our patients which they are expected to strictly follow. With effective treatments and follow-up plans from leading doctors, your health is in the hands of the best.
