The fear of cancer recurrence in elderly patients after endoscopic submucosal dissection for early esophageal cancer: a cross-sectional study
The FCR is high in elderly patients after ESD for early esophageal cancer. Healthcare professionals should implement personalized disease-related health education programs to help patients reduce their fear of the disease, guide patients to adopt positive and effective coping styles, and improve the confidence and ability of patients to deal with disease-related problems to reduce the level of FCR.
