Exploring the screening capacity of the Fear of Cancer Recurrence Inventory ‐Short Form for clinical levels of fear of cancer recurrence

ConclusionsEstablishing clinical cut‐offs on FCR screening measures is crucial to tailoring individual care and conducting rigorous research. Our results suggest using a higher cut‐off on the FCRI‐SF than previously reported to identify clinically significant FCR. Continued evaluation and validation of the FCRI‐SF cut‐off is required across diverse cancer populations.
