Experiences After Endoscopic Resection in Patients With Early Gastric Cancer in Korea: A Qualitative Study
Our findings highlight the need for tailored health information, particularly regarding dietary guidance, and family involvement in posttreatment care. Cultural sensitivity is crucial when supporting South Korean patients who associate cancer with personal behaviors, experience shame, or avoid disclosing their diagnosis. These insights can help health care providers guide these patients in adapting to their cancer diagnosis and managing posttreatment challenges.
