Clinician-led intervention to address fear of cancer recurrence (CIFeR)

The intervention includes five components informed by theoretical models and existing interventions for FCR: 1) FCR normalization: reassurance that FCR is a common and normal phenomenon after treatment for cancer, 2) Providing prognostic information: asking patients whether they would like information about their risk of recurrence and, if yes,providing this information, 3) Providing education and take-home information on red-flag recurrence symptoms, 4) Brief advice on managing worry: distraction, meditation, mindfulness, reassurance, and links to online resources to manage FCR, and 5) referral to a psychologist if FCR is high (FCRI-SF \>= 22), or if deemed helpful by the patient or clinician. Access will be provided to ConquerFear-Group delivered online by trained psychologists.
