Enes Erul, Oncology Fellow at Ankara University, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“New publication.
Behind every survival curve is a person asking, “Will it come back?”
In our study of 167 colorectal cancer survivors, 62% screened positive for high fear of recurrence. We also found something hopeful: pet ownership was associated with ~75% lower odds of high FCR (OR≈0.25) – a small reminder that connection and companionship matter in survivorship.
Grateful to our patients and colleagues who made this work possible.”
