Unmet needs in survivorship: Increased anxiety post oesophago-gastric cancer surgery.

Introduction: Despite significant surgical advancements in the treatment of oesophago-gastric cancer (OGC), patients often experience a considerable decline in health-related quality of life postoperatively. Psychological factors, such as hypervigilance and symptom-specific anxiety, may contribute to this. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and trend of hypervigilance and symptom-specific anxiety in OGC survivors across treatment stages.
