Analysis of the changes in health-related quality of life and employment status after surgery in patients with lung cancer: a single-center longitudinal study
Lung cancer surgery significantly affected the HRQOL and employment status of the patients within the first 6 months after surgery. For patients who decide to return to work before full recovery of QOL, we consider the need for enhanced support to assist them as they can reintegrate into work and activities of daily living.
