Although lung cancer is the deadliest type of cancer, survival rates are improving. To address the dearth of literature about the concerns of lung cancer survivors, the authors conducted 21 in-depth interviews with lung cancer survivors that focused on experiences during diagnosis, treatment, and long-term survivorship. Emergent themes included feeling blamed for having caused their cancer, being stigmatized as throwaways, and long-term survivors' experiencing surprise that they are still alive, given poor overall survival rates. Survivors also desired increased public support. It is imperative for healthcare and public health professionals to learn more about needs of this population.
尽管肺癌是最致命的癌症类型，但生存率正在提高。为了解决关于肺癌幸存者担忧的文献匮乏问题，作者对肺癌幸存者进行了21次深入访谈，重点关注诊断、治疗和长期生存期间的经历。浮现出的主题包括因患癌而感到自责、被污名化为被抛弃者，以及长期幸存者鉴于总体生存率低却仍活着而感到惊讶。幸存者还希望获得更多公众支持。医疗保健和公共卫生专业人员必须更多地了解这一人群的需求。
