Gastric cancer patients are expected to have considerable supportive care needs; however, few studies have been conducted. This study aimed to understand the unmet needs of gastric cancer patients at different phases of the cancer journey, identify factors contributing to their unmet needs and quality of life (QOL) and explore the relationships among unmet needs, symptom experience, anxiety, depression, and QOL.
