Hi, dear.
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Chances of relapse are always there in throat cancer. So its not due to any other causes. Its just due to tendency of recurrence. If you have gone for surgery then incomplete removal of malignant tissue may be the causes of recurrence. In radiotherapy also some residual tumor may be there and it causes recurrence. So just consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic.
