18.2% of cancer patients had home medical service demands, with demands across all four dimensions. Among which the demand for health education, social support and rehabilitation guidance was more. Cancer patients’ needs are influenced by factors such as age, education level, economic status, and more (P<0.05). The driving factors include the number of comorbidities (β=0.111, t=3.643, P<0.001), being bedridden (β=0.121, t=4.299, P<0.001), and having a college degree or higher (β=0.071, t=2.416, P=0.016). The inhibiting factors include economic status (β=-0.072, t=-2.057, P=0.04) and daily condition (β=-0.192, t=-5.219, P<0.001).
