About 50% of women with #ovariancancer report needing more help to deal with #fearofrecurrence ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25728373 It's been great working with Ovarian Cancer Aust & Prof Phyllis Butow POCOG on a resource 2 help those affected by ovarian cancer manage concerns about recurrence




We are in significant need of more research into treatment of #fearofrecurrence after cancer - including individual case studies to drive larger trials. Great to see these kinds of papers published. FORwards research researchgate.net/publication/32…

This paper from Simon Rogers & Gerry Humphris (link.springer.com/article/10.100…) shows that #cancer #fearofrecurrence overlaps with, but is often distinct from general anxiety, highlighting the need to screen for #FCR separately & reports on a single item suitable for this purpose #FORWARDS

Claire Paterson 💙 Gerry Humphris @11thQOL St Andrews HealthPsy School of Medicine FORwards research Gözde Özakıncı Interesting read! Well done. Working with ladies with high FCR following treatment it becomes apparent what their individual ‘trigger’ is. Out of interest have you looked at the diagnosis experience? Or patients previous experience with cancer?
