      cancer recurrence?

AB  - OBJECTIVE: The Cancer Threat Interpretation model proposes that clinically 
      significant fear of cancer recurrence/progression (FCR/P) can occur when people 
      misinterpret ambiguous physical symptoms as a sign of recurrence. The aim of this 
      research is to test whether interpretation biases moderate the relationship 
      between pain and FCR/P in women with breast cancer, as predicted. METHOD: One 
      hundred forty-seven women with breast cancer completed questionnaire measures of 
      demographic and medical information, FCR/P, interpretation bias, and symptom 
      burden, as well as other known predictors of FCR/P. RESULTS: Women with 
      clinically significant levels of FCR/P were more likely to interpret ambiguous 
      words as health-related and experienced more pain than women with levels of FCR/P 
      in the nonclinical range. FCR was associated with both pain (r = .40, p < .001) 
      and interpretation bias (r = .45, p < .001). Interpretation bias and pain (r = 
      .31, p < .001) were also associated with each other. Moderation analyses 
      confirmed that interpretation bias moderated the relationship between pain and 
      FCR (F(1, 143) = 5.76; p = .01). However, this was not the case with FOP (F(1, 
      143) = .21; p = .65). CONCLUSION: We found that women with breast cancer with 
      clinically significant FCR/P interpreted ambiguous words as health-related more 
      often and experienced more pain than those with nonclinical FCR/P. Moreover, we 
      found that among those with higher levels of pain, FCR was also higher only among 
      those with higher levels of interpretation bias, as the threat interpretation 
      model predicts. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved).
