What is the correct cancer treatment for this

What is the correct cancer treatment for this?
If you have a precancerous growth at a different site in the same organ from where you had cancer originally, what would treatment be? Would you need more chemo because of your cancer history, if you have only been in remission for a few months. I think the precancerous growth had the same type of cells as the original cancer, or something like that.

For this to be metastatic disease the cells would HAVE TO be exactly like the cells from the primary site and they could not be precancerous. Therefore this is not metastatic disease. The only treatment needed is to remove the new growth. There is no reason for further chemo and the person is till in remission.

Only your oncologist can answer this question as we dont know the details of the cancer. Where it was and where it is now.
