[Abstract]Postoperative lung cancer patients experience a significant symptom burden that severely impacts their quality of life. Accurate assessment of their health experience during recovery is critical to postoperative management. Patient-reported outcomes (PROs), which provide valuable insights into health from the patient's perspective, are increasingly used in the postoperative management of lung cancer patients. This article reviews the existing patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) for lung cancer patients, focusing on their measurement dimensions, clinical applicability, and current usage. It aims to provide a foundation for their scientific application, optimize postoperative management strategies, and promote high-quality recovery and management.
