Survivorship concerns for patients with lung and bronchus cancers include quality of life and physical and psychological aspects. Recommendations for follow-up care should incorporate a survivorship paradigm and practices for these patients.
The authors conducted a literature review on lung cancer survivorship and the late- and long-term effects of treatment, which can impair quality of life in this patient population.
Lung cancer is a diagnosis associated with heavy disease burden, and patients may benefit from survivorship care. High levels of physical and psychological distress leading to diminished quality of life are common in those with lung cancer. Recognition of the potential late- and long-term effects of treatment may help health care professionals intervene early to minimize negative implications.
Survivorship care for patients with cancer requires a multidisciplinary effort and team approach. Addressing the survivorship needs of these patients and their caregivers, along with providing a continuum of cancer care, should improve their quality of life. Further research on evidence-based practices on the long-term effects of lung cancer survivorship care is necessary.
肺癌和支气管癌患者的生存问题包括生活质量以及身体和心理方面。针对这些患者的后续护理建议应包含生存模式和实践。
作者对肺癌生存和治疗的晚期及长期影响进行了文献回顾，这些影响会损害该患者群体的生活质量。
肺癌是一种与重病负担相关的诊断，患者可能会受益于生存护理。在肺癌患者中，常见的是高水平的身体和心理困扰导致生活质量下降。认识到治疗的潜在晚期和长期影响可能有助于医疗保健专业人员尽早干预，以最小化负面影响。
癌症患者的生存护理需要多学科的努力和团队方法。满足这些患者及其照顾者的生存需求，以及提供癌症护理的连续性，应该会提高他们的生活质量。有必要对肺癌生存护理的长期影响的循证实践进行进一步研究。
