New italian tool aims to ease MRI anxiety for cancer patients
NCT ID NCT07671846
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is translating and testing an Italian version of a questionnaire that measures anxiety in cancer patients during whole-body MRI scans. Researchers will enroll 175 adult cancer patients at the European Institute of Oncology. The goal is to ensure the Italian version is as reliable as the original, providing a validated tool to help doctors better understand and manage patient anxiety during scans.
