“…We showed that tumor stage was the main influencing FCR factor in patients; The incidence of FCR was higher in patients with tumor stage IV than in patients with tumor stage I, This result is consistent with Rasmussen's et al [24] study of FCR and tumor staging in cancer survivors. A reason for this may be that tumor staging is a key indicator used to evaluate prognosis and survival of adolescent malignant bone tumor patients, and it is also one of the specific indicators for judging the invasive ability of malignant bone tumors.…”

Background Adolescent malignant-bone tumor patients' fear of cancer recurrence is a significant psychological issue, and exploring the influencing factors associated with fear of cancer recurrence in this population is important for developing effective interventions. This study is to investigate the current status and factors influencing fear of cancer recurrence (FCR) related to malignant bone-tumors in adolescent patients, providing evidence for future targeted mental health support and interventions. Design A cross-sectional survey. Methods In total, 269 adolescent malignant-bone tumor cases were treated at two hospitals in Zhejiang Province, China from January 2023 to December 2023. Patients completed a General Information Questionnaire, Fear of Progression Questionnaire-Short Form (FoP-Q-SF), Family Hardiness Index (FHI), and a Simple Coping Style Questionnaire (SCSQ). Univariate and multivariable logistic regressions analysis were used to assess fear of cancer recurrence. Results A total of 122 (45.4%) patients experienced FCR (FoP-Q-SF ≥ 34). Logistic regression analysis analyses showed that per capita-monthly family income, tumor stage, communication between the treating physician and the patient, patient's family relationships, family hardiness a positive coping score, and a negative coping score were the main factors influencing FCR in these patients (P < 0.05). Conclusions FCR in malignant-bone tumor adolescent patients is profound. Healthcare professionals should develop targeted interventional strategies based on the identified factors, which affect these patients; helping patients increase family hardiness, helping patients to positively adapt, and avoid negative coping styles.

“…Longer disease course was linked with higher tumor grade and FCR levels in this study, which is consistent with previous findings. [ 21 ] The higher the patient disease stage indicates a higher recurrence rate, leading to lower confidence in treatment. Patients with increased disease courses gradually recover with the appropriate treatment.…”

To investigate the risk factors of fear of cancer recurrence (FCR) in postoperative patients with gastric cancer (GC) and provide references for targeted nursing intervention development. A total of 84 patients who underwent GC surgery were included in this study. The fear of progression questionnaire-short form and social support rating scale were conducted, and multiple linear regression was performed to identify risk factors of FCR. The score of the fear of progression questionnaire-short form in patients with GC surgery was 39.1 ± 7.6. The results of multiple linear regression showed that age, education level, occupational status, course of the disease, Tumor node metastasis staging, and social support were the influencing factors of FCR in patients with GC (P < .05). The current situation of FCR in patients with GC surgery is not optimistic. The medical staff should pay more attention to patients with low age, low education level, unemployment, short course, high tumor node metastasis staging, low social support level, and other high-risk groups, and provide social support resources to reduce the level of FCR.
