Comparative pilot study reveals anxiety affects screening attitudes in breast cancer relatives, suggesting clinical implications.
Higher levels of anxiety in breast cancer patients were associated with less favorable screening attitudes among their relatives, whereas screening attitudes were positively correlated within patient-relative dyads. These findings suggest that anxiety and screening attitudes may cluster within patient-relative dyads. Further research is required to determine the clinical implications.
