Stigma experiences among young and middle-aged testicular cancer survivors in China: A phenomenological study
Stigma among young and middle-aged Chinese TC survivors is pervasive and shaped by the interplay of biological vulnerability, Confucian moral values, and institutional structures. A comprehensive, culturally grounded, multi-level stigma-reduction strategy-spanning the individual, family, community, and health care system-is urgently needed to support psychosocial adaptation and improve survivorship outcomes.
