"Recurrence is most likely within the first three to five years after treatment ends, which is why structured follow-up during that window is not optional. Blood tests, imaging, and clinical review at regular intervals are the mechanism that catches returning disease while it is still localized enough to treat — because recurrence found early remains a clinical problem; recurrence found late becomes a different one entirely."
