Interventions
During the first six months after surgery, patients in the experimental group will use a WeChat mini-program to proactively self-report their symptoms regularly using the Chinese version of the MD Anderson Symptom Inventory for Esophageal Cancer (MDASI-EC). Based on the reported scores and the pre-defined algorithms in the "Post-Esophagectomy Symptom Grading Management Manual", the system will automatically provide personalized self-management guidance for low-grade symptoms. For more severe symptoms, the system will generate alerts to prompt dedicated study nurses to initiate proactive telephone follow-up and provide tailored health coaching.
