Summary

This trial investigates whether an online intervention, iConquerFear, can reduce fear of cancer coming back (recurrence) and anxiety in patients with renal cell carcinoma that is restricted to the site of origin, without evidence of spread (localized). This intervention is an online adaptation of a highly effective face-to-face treatment for fear of recurrence that teaches strategies for: controlling worry and excessive threat monitoring, modifying unhelpful beliefs about worry, developing appropriate monitoring and screening behaviors, addressing cancer-related existential change, promoting values-based goal setting, and reducing uncertainty by providing information about cancer and treatment. The information learned may help others with renal cell carcinoma who also have a fear of cancer recurrence.
