Fear of Recurrence as a Predictor of Care Needs for Long-Term Breast Cancer Survivors
Conclusions:
Even 5 years after the diagnosis and completion of therapy, women continue to report unmet needs. Evaluating women’s fear of recurrence to identify high-risk women with unmet needs is critical to providing quality care.
Implication for Practice:
Developing appropriate survivorship care programs combined with managing concerns regarding recurrence by a nursing case manager is needed.
