Communication and fear of cancer recurrence in colorectal cancer survivors and their partners
Our findings highlight the complex dynamics dyads experience during CRC survivorship. While open communication is crucial, differing levels of shared fears and concerns can significantly impact health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Addressing these issues, especially FCR, can enhance patient-centered survivorship care.
