Hello Dr, I had under operation for liposarcoma 4-5yrs ago, on my left thigh region, now I feel some amount of tenderness in the area, what should I do,? are there chance of growth again? should I go for consultation? what are the test I need to do? again? please reply to YYYY@YYYY
Pain in the same region of primary cancer, definitely calls for attention to look for recurrence of cancer. It is better to undergo MRI of thigh-bone with contrast and biopsy of the area, if anything is seen on the MRI, to confirm the cancer. If it is normal, then, nothing to worry. I think, u must be undergoing followup once in 6 months with chest x-ray, to also see the recurrence of tumor in lung.
