What this trial studies

This study aims to enhance the management of postoperative symptoms in lung cancer patients through a mobile internet platform integrated with WeChat. By focusing on patient-reported outcomes (PROs), the research seeks to monitor symptoms like pain and coughing more effectively, thereby improving patient engagement and follow-up care. The study will create a prospective database to analyze factors affecting recovery and assess the role of interactive platforms in enhancing patient care. The use of internet technology is expected to facilitate better communication between patients and healthcare providers post-surgery.
