NCT ID NCT04287218
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tests an online cognitive therapy program, guided by a therapist, to help colorectal cancer survivors who have finished treatment reduce their fear of the cancer returning. The program includes educational text, exercises, and videos. Researchers will compare it to standard care in 200 Danish survivors to see if it lowers anxiety and improves well-being.
