CONCLUSION: Fatigue stands out as the most core symptom in the network 1-2 days after lung cancer surgery.

Therefore, clinical staff can improve the postoperative symptom experience of lung cancer patients by developing symptom management programmes tailored to these core symptoms.PMID:38513455 | DOI:10.1016/j.ejon.2024.102546
