Reducing Fear of Cancer Recurrence in Danish Colorectal Cancer Survivors
A Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing the Efficacy of Therapist Guided Internet-delivered Cognitive Therapy (TG-iConquerFear) With Augmented Treatment as Usual in Reducing Fear of Cancer Recurrence in Danish Colorectal Cancer Survivors
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 21 Aug 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Cognitive therapy has been shown to reduce fear of cancer recurrence (FCR), mainly in breast cancer survivors. The accessibility of cognitive behavioural interventions could be further improved by Internet delivery, but self-guided interventions have shown limited efficacy. The aim of this study is to test the efficacy of a therapist guided internet-delivered intervention (TG-iConquerFear) vs. augmented treatment as usual (aTAU) in Danish colorectal cancer survivors.
