Funded Activity Summary

Surprisingly little work has been done to explain how anxiety develops and persists in patients with cancer. A model was recently developed to explain how fears of cancer recurrence develop and persist, which led to a new intervention. This study proposes to extend that work for patients with ongoing cancer threat or poor prognosis. The proposed study will develop a model of cancer-related anxiety and develop and test an intervention for anxiety in cancer patients with ongoing uncertainty.
