The conversation between human and AI assistant.
[|Human|] My nephews wife who just delivered a baby two months ago and is 33 years old, just had surgery to remove a tumor that they thought was a cyst on her ovary but actually was a tumor that started on appendix and attached to ovary. They removed her appendis, ovary, and ovarian tube. The lab results just came back and they said that she had precancerous cells. Are chances likely where it started on the appendix that they will come back?
[|AI|]  Hi, Thanks for writing in. Precancerous or cancerous cells in the appendix are rare, but they can become aggressive. Recurrence rate is high but since the patient got a surgery done therefore the risk is less than precancerous cells were confirmed. The patient should follow up with the oncologist as and when required. This can be every 2 to 3 months and get follow-up ultrasound scan done. If required, CT scan must also be done as per recommendation of the doctor. If she has any pain or discomfort in the right lower abdomen then she should consult her doctor immediately at the earliest.
