The Relationship between Cancer Patient's Fear of Recurrence and Radiotherapy: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

ConclusionsWhile meta‐analysis reports a statistically significant association between cancer patient's FoR and the receipt of RT, these results should be interpreted with caution due to significant variability between studies. Further longitudinal studies should be conducted to address the trajectory of FoR over RT in greater detail. Standardized validated FoR measurement would assist this investigation.
