Abstract

This article provides a comprehensive review of the types of symptom clusters, assessment tools, and intervention methods for gastric cancer patients during the perioperative period. It suggests that future research should focus on the mechanisms and influencing factors of symptom clusters in gastric cancer patients during the perioperative period, in order to provide a basis for the development of scientifically sound and effective management measures.
