Symptom clusters in oesophageal cancer patients during varying phases of postoperative chemotherapy: a scoping review
The composition of SCs in oesophageal cancer chemotherapy evolves dynamically across different stages. However, the existing evidence is mainly derived from small sample cross-sectional studies, with high heterogeneity in tools and methods. Standardised assessment criteria and longitudinal validation are needed to develop stage-specific, evidence-based interventions that can be widely applied.
