Research Notes on Cancerophobia


Cancerophobia is fear of cancer or of developing malignant growth.1 Many people dread cancer; however, those suffering from cancerophobia have limited functioning due to their fears.2 It is also called carcinophobia.3

Fast Facts:

  • The most common belief of cancerophobics is that a headache is tell-tale sign of a brain tumor.2
  • Cancerophobics take cancer prevention to the extreme, such that it interferes with their normal functioning.2
  • Treatment begins with a patient's desire to overcome cancerophobia.2
