“…Most of the demographic and clinical factors were found to be not significantly associated with levels of FCR in AYAs, but weak evidence emerged for gender, treatment intensity, and psychological distress. Even though only two studies suggested that female experienced greater fear than male AYAs, this finding is consistent with several studies in adult cancer patients . However, many contrary findings were also reported.…”

Objective The current systematic review aims to provide an overview of fear of cancer recurrence (FCR) in adolescent and young adult cancer survivors (15‐39 years at cancer diagnosis, AYAs). Methods MEDLINE, PubMed, PsycINFO, and Embase databases were independently searched to identify relevant quantitative articles. PRISMA systematic review procedures were followed with quality assessment. Results Seventeen studies were included in the current review. All were quantitative studies that utilized a cross‐sectional study design. Seven articles reported results of FCR prevalence, six studied determinants related to FCR, and 11 articles provided information about consequences of FCR. Prevalence of FCR ranged from 31% to 85.2% among AYA survivors. Associations between sociodemographic/clinical variables and FCR were inconsistent. Psychological distress and higher treatment intensity were positively associated with higher FCR levels. Lower scores on levels of physical, psychological functioning, and overall health‐related quality of life (QoL) were identified as consequences of increased FCR. Conclusion FCR appears to be a prevalent concern among adolescent and young adult cancer populations. Adequate assessment to determine need for support and intervention is still required. Longitudinal studies in AYAs are warranted to understand the development and potential influence of FCR. Age‐appropriate and flexible psychological care would be more successful potentially with this crucial background information.

“…With the addition of articles identified during reference searching a total of 24 studies were finally included (Fig. ) . Of those articles included, 11 different PROMs were identified: two generic PROMs (SF‐36 and FACT‐G) and nine skin cancer‐specific (FACT‐M, POS‐H/N, SCI, SCQoL, aBCCdex, SCQOLIT, FACE‐Q, DLQI, Essers et al .).…”

Patient‐reported outcome measures for facial skin cancer: a systematic review and evaluation of the quality of their measurement properties

et al. 2018

Background Skin cancer is the commonest malignancy worldwide, often occurring on the face. Both the condition and treatment can lead to scarring and facial disfigurement, affecting a patient's health-related quality of life (HRQoL), which can be measured using patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs). Objectives This systematic review identifies PROMs for facial skin cancer and appraises their methodological quality and psychometric properties using up-to-date methods. Methods MEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO, Cochrane and CINAHL were searched systematically in accordance with PRISMA guidelines, identifying all PROMs designed for or validated in facial skin cancer. Methodological quality and evidence of psychometric properties were assessed using the COnsensus-based Standards for the Selection of Health Measurement INstruments (COSMIN) checklist and criteria proposed by Terwee and colleagues. A best-evidence synthesis and assessment of instrument focus on post-resection reconstruction was also performed.

“…2,16 Patients with a high comorbidity index score or those who indicate that health has a large impact on their QOL (ie, low SF-12 scores) are less likely to notice an effect of skin cancer therapy than those who are in better health. The importance of respondents' health status on their HRQOL is recognized in the development of some HRQOL assessments (eg, the visual analog scale for general health of the EuroQOL-5D).…”
