Abstract

Esophageal cancer and treatment affects patient support needs. Patients identify support needs regarding information, individualization, holism, anticipation, goals, navigation and resources. Clinicians are encouraged to use patient-identified support needs to optimize perioperative algorithms to enhance patient-centered care, patient satisfaction, cancer care coordination, and potentially to impact health outcomes.
