Symptom clusters and network analysis in lung cancer patients receiving taxane-based chemotherapy: a comprehensive assessment using the CIPNAT multi-scale tool
The symptom network of lung cancer patients receiving taxane-based chemotherapy exhibits a tightly interconnected characteristic. Fatigue is the core hub symptom, and the frequency of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy is the key driver symptom. Additionally, the network structure shows age universality. Clinically, interventions can be prioritized for the aforementioned core symptoms to achieve efficient management of the overall symptom cluster.
