Identification of distinct symptom profiles in primary brain tumor patients: a prospective longitudinal study

Our findings reveal substantial heterogeneity in perioperative symptom experiences among brain tumor patients. Identifying subgroups with high and persistent symptom burden may help clinicians target interventions such as enhanced education, proactive monitoring, rehabilitation, psychological support, and antiemetic management. This subgroup-based approach may improve quality of life, reduce morbidity, and guide precision supportive care in neuro-oncology.
