Brief Summary

The use of smartphone-based WeChat applications offers significant advantages in cancer patient education, rehabilitation monitoring, and postoperative symptom management. Through the WeChat platform, patients can access health education materials, engage in online consultations, and interact with doctors and other patients at any time. This ongoing education and psychological support help alleviate patient anxiety and improve their quality of life. This study aims to conduct a prospective observational study in our hospital to explore the impact of WeChat communication on the prognosis of patients with different histological types and stages of lung cancer.
