Workshop 1: Coen Völker Fear of Cancer Recurrence Inventory, self-help and a 5-step program
Content: Fear of cancer recurrence is normal. But how do we treat and guide our patients who suffer from this? How can we offer them a practical roadmap and have meaningful conversations? In this worshop you will learn the 5-step program from the book "Fear of Cancer (Völker, 2021)". This program can be used by psychologists and therapists as part of a treatment, but can also be used to structure conversations with health care professionals or family. Some patients need therapy, some need counseling but many need clarity how to work with anxiety. This program gives clarity is based on 3rd generation cognitive behavioural therapy, acceptance & commitment therapy, mindfulness and on 20 years experience in psycho-oncology.
The Fear of Cancer Recurrence Inventory (FCRI) and online self-help programmes will also be discussed in this workshop.
Workshop 2: Isabelle Merckaert & Marie Callier: Emotion regulation and fear of cancer recurrence : insights from a brief ecologically boosted group intervention
Workshop summary: Anxiety, depressive symptoms, fear of cancer recurrence (FCR), intrusive thoughts, and worry are some of the most common complaints of breast cancer survivors. Although for a majority of patients they may be moderate and transient responses to cancer and its treatment, for others they may compromise healthy survivorship and lead to unremitting psychosocial dysfunction. The workshop will focus on describing the ecologically boosted (i.e., promoting in-between session at-home practice) eight-session emotion and self-regulation group intervention that our group designed for breast cancer patients in the early survivorship period who met criteria for clinical levels of such psychological symptoms.Anxiety, depressive symptoms, fear of cancer recurrence (FCR), intrusive thoughts, and worry are some of the most common complaints of breast cancer survivors.

Workshop 3 : Esther Smit-Deuning en José Custers: The SWORD intervention – a blended psychological intervention for high fear of cancer recurrence.
Workshop summary: Fear of cancer recurrence (FCR) is amongst the most prevalent need for help reported by cancer survivors. FCR can be seen on a continuum from low, transient levels to clinical persistent levels. While patients with low or moderate fears are often able to manage FCR on their own or assisted by minimal interventions provided by medical staff and in primary care, patients with clinical FCR might need specialized psychological help. For these patients we developed Survivors Worries of Recurrent Disease (SWORD) intervention. SWORD is a blended intervention based on cognitive behavioral therapy combining the benefits of face-to-face therapy sessions with an eHealth platform with at-home assignments. The intervention has been proven effective in a randomized controlled trial. In this workshop we will introduce the rationale, content and structure of SWORD.
