Trajectories of Self-reported Physical Functioning and Symptoms in Lung Cancer Survivors

Conclusions In this sample of lung cancer survivors, not all survivors experienced the same rate of self-reported functional decline and those with lower levels of fatigue reported better physical functioning. Implications for Practice Nurses should recognize that some lung cancer survivors may have faster rates of functional declines than others, which may be related to fatigue severity. Early identification and management of fatigue could help avoid or delay future disability.
