Fear of Cancer Recurrence Inventory - Short Form
FCRI-SF is a nine-item severity screen of worry that cancer will come back. This page is catalogue information for clinics. It is not a disorder label and not a public test.
Overview
What is the FCRI-SF?
The Fear of Cancer Recurrence Inventory Short Form organises how strongly a person worries that cancer will return. Screening evidence around a total of 22 is a prompt for clinician review. The total is not a diagnosis and not a treatment recommendation.
Development and clinical use
Simard and Savard developed the Fear of Cancer Recurrence Inventory. The short form uses the nine-item severity subscale. Confirm the current official form and scoring notes before a live pathway.

Questions
What clinics ask before they evaluate the FCRI-SF
These answers stay inside educational catalogue scope. They do not replace official manuals or clinician judgement.
Does a total of 22 diagnose fear of recurrence as a disorder?
No. Around 22 is published screening evidence for clinician review. It is not a disorder label.
Can I complete FCRI-SF here?
No. This landing does not collect answers or return a score.
Is FCRI-SF the same as GAD-7?
No. GAD-7 screens general anxiety symptoms. FCRI-SF screens worry that cancer will come back.
Does a high score predict recurrence or survival?
No. The measure records reported worry. It does not predict disease outcome.
