5/15

There are three different types of cancer recurrence. The different types are defined by where in your body the cancer appears.
  • Local recurrence: The cancer appears in the same place where it was first found, or very close by.
  • Regional recurrence: The cancer appears in the lymph nodes and tissue near where it started.
  • Distant recurrence: The cancer appears in another part of the body which is further away from where it started. This is known as "metastasized."

Where your cancer recurs depends on your original cancer type and stage.
