Summary
This study tests an internet-based self-help program called eConquerFear-HK for Chinese cancer survivors who have mild to moderate fear of their cancer coming back. About 48 people who finished treatment for early-stage breast or colorectal cancer will try the program. The goal is to see if it reduces fear and improves quality of life.
