Brief Summary: This trial investigates whether an online intervention, iConquerFear, can reduce fear of cancer coming back (recurrence) and anxiety in patients with renal cell carcinoma that is restricted to the site of origin, without evidence of spread (localized). This intervention is an online adaptation of a highly effective face-to-face treatment for fear of recurrence that teaches strategies for: controlling worry and excessive threat monitoring, modifying unhelpful beliefs about worry, developing appropriate monitoring and screening behaviors, addressing cancer-related existential change, promoting values-based goal setting, and reducing uncertainty by providing information about cancer and treatment. The information learned may help others with renal cell carcinoma who also have a fear of cancer recurrence.
Detailed Description: PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To assess feasibility and acceptability of the iConquerFear program for patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC).
II. To assess preliminary effects of the program on Fear of Cancer Recurrence-7 item scale (FCR-7), Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS)-anxiety, PROMIS-depression, and Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-General (FACT-G).
III. Explore differences in feasibility and efficacy of iConquerFear by sociodemographic or clinical factors.
OUTLINE:
Patients complete 5 sessions of iConquerFear program online over 5 weeks. Patients also complete questionnaires at baseline, after the intervention, and 2 months later.
