ConquerFear-HK: A Randomized Controlled Trial of a Metacognition-Based, Manualized Intervention for Fear of Cancer Recurrence among Chinese Cancer Survivors
ConquerFear-HK demonstrates promising short-term (3-month) improvements in FCR among Chinese cancer survivors; however, no sustained benefits were found at 6 months. Possible explanations include the high attrition at 6-month follow-up, a potential early ceiling effect, unconscious therapist bias, or an accelerated adaptation effect in the intervention arm that was achieved later by the control group.
