Learning to heal: study tests if education boosts recovery after lung cancer surgery

This study looks at whether a structured educational program, added to usual care, can help people who have surgery for lung cancer. The goal is to see if it improves how well they accept their disease, their quality of life, and their pain levels. About 160 participants are split into two groups: one gets the extra education, the other gets standard care only. Researchers will track their progress for up to five years using questionnaires and medical measurements.
