NCCS Webinar: Understanding Fear of Cancer Recurrence

Find info and resources discussed in this webinar: https://www.canceradvocacy.org/nccs-n...

Those with a cancer experience are all too familiar with the anxiety that many experience wondering and waiting if and how cancer may return. New research is helping shed more light on what exactly “fear of recurrence” means as a measurable patient outcome, psychological and emotional factors that may increase or decrease it, and what steps can be taken by patients and providers to help reduce it.

Joining us to discuss fear of recurrence is Sarah Reed, MSW, MPH, PhD, of the Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing at UC Davis, who you'll hear discuss new research—including her own—that seeks to more clearly define fear of recurrence and its impact on cancer patients.

This webinar is presented by the National Coalition for Cancer Survivorship as part of our CPAT (Cancer Policy & Advocacy Team) program. More information: https://www.canceradvocacy.org/cpat
