Unmet supportive care needs and associated factors among Chinese discharged patients with esophageal cancer after esophagectomy: A cross-sectional study.

CONCLUSIONS: Discharged patients with esophageal cancer after esophagectomy had a wide range of unmet supportive care needs. It is essential to combine the associated factors to accurately evaluate patient needs. We should pay more attention to propose comprehensive measures for these patients and provide more individualized supportive care during the lengthy recovery period.
