BACKGROUND: Fear of cancer recurrence (FCR) is a phenomenon estimated to affect a large portion of cancer survivors. This study sought to determine whether patients from a National Cancer Institute-designated institution had their clinical needs met relating to FCR. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients referred to the survivorship clinic completed The Clinical Needs Assessment Tool for Cancer Survivors (CNAT-CS). Correlations between responses were calculated and univariable and multivariable logistic regression was used to identify predictors of met or unmet needs related to FCR. RESULTS: Of 647 patients, 241 (37.2%) reported they did not have clinical needs related to FCR and 386 (59.7%) reported they had clinical needs related to FCR but that the needs had been met. Only 20 (3.09%) reported that clinical needs relating to FCR were unmet. According to univariate logistic regression, sex had no impact on FCR (P = 0.8427), nor did years since diagnosis (P = 0.1014). Results of multivariable regression indicate that the odds ratio of reported FCR as an unmet need (versus not a need) is 0.939; the odds decreased by 6% (P = 0.0023) for every year increase in age. For each unit increase in distress score, the odds of reporting FCR as an unmet need increased by 32% (P = 0.0007). CONCLUSIONS: This study is unique in not only examining the presence of FCR but also whether patients reported that their needs were met for FCR. The study found that most patients had clinical needs for FCR, but the needs were met at the time of the survey. Patients who report higher distress scores are more likely to report FCR as an unmet need. Therefore, cancer survivors reporting high distress scores in clinic visits should be evaluated for FCR.
