Abstract: Objective: The study aimed to systematically retrieve, evaluate and summarize evidence on perioperative pain management in adults undergoing thoracoscopic lung cancer surgery, to assist oncology nurses in improving pain assessment and management. Methods: The research question was established using PIPOST model and a systematic search was conducted in English and Chinese databases, professional society websites and guideline platforms for literature published between January 2017 and December 2024. Included literature types comprised guidelines, systematic reviews, evidence summaries, expert consensus, and standards. After literature searching and screening in January 2025, the remaining guidelines were evaluated by four investigators, while other literature was assessed by two investigators. Evidence was then extracted and graded. Results: Eighteen articles were included, comprising 5 systematic reviews, 3 guidelines, 2 clinical decisions, 4 evidence summaries, 3 expert consensus, and 1 standard. Twenty-five pieces of evidence across six topics were summarized, covering organizational management, high-risk patient assessment and preoperative education, pain assessment, intraoperative analgesia, multimodal pharmacological strategies, and non-pharmacological interventions. Conclusions: This evidence summary highlights effective strategies for perioperative pain management in thoracoscopic lung cancer surgery, which could support oncology nurses in implementing comprehensive pain assessment, identifying high-risk patients, and applying diversified analgesic interventions.
