Introduction The study focuses on analyzing the level of awareness among oncological patients, their perception of their health status, and expectations regarding radical surgical intervention. It assesses changes in patients' attitudes toward their diagnosis, therapeutic options, and prognosis both preoperatively and postoperatively. The research involves a systematic collection of value-based medical history through structured interviews, enabling the identification of key factors influencing patient experience and decision-making processes in oncological treatment.
