First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study tests a 4-week online cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) program for women with BRCA1/2 mutations who have finished cancer treatment and still worry a lot about cancer coming back. Researchers will compare those who get therapy right away to those on a waitlist, measuring fear levels, anxiety, and quality of life. The goal is to see if this adapted therapy helps and if the effects last.
