It is the reappearance
of cancer after a disease-free period [1,2]. Cancer that has recurred (come back), usually after a period of time
during which the cancer could not be detected. The cancer may come back to the
same place as the original (primary) tumor or to another place in the body [3].
Generally, it is the return of a
disease or the signs and symptoms of a disease after a period of improvement [4].
Relapse (not recurrence) also refers to returning to the use of an addictive substance or
behavior, such as cigarette smoking [4].
