Popis: Background The outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic in China has greatly impacted the radiotherapy (RT) strategy for breast cancer (BC) patients, which might lead to an increased distressing psychological symptom. Thus, we perform a multi-center cross-section survey aiming to investigate the prevalence of fears of cancer recurrence (FCR) and explore predictors for FCR in BC patients referred for RT during pandemic. Methods: 542 BC patients who referred for RT between 24th Jan and 30th April 2020 during pandemic were consecutively enrolled from 14 hospitals around China including Yangtze Delta River Region, Guangdong and Shanxi province. Patients’ sociodemographic, treatment information as well as psychological characteristics were collected using an information sheet, Fear of progression questionnaire-short form (FoP-Q-SF), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and EORTC QLQ-C30. The influence of pandemic on RT schedule was divided into four categories: “delay” was defined as >12 weeks from surgery to RT in patients without chemotherapy or >8 weeks from last time of anti-tumor therapy (including chemotherapy and surgery) to RT in patients with chemotherapy; “Special normal” was defined that patients themselves believed to have delayed RT initiation but actually not; “Interruption” was defined as any unplanned gaps in original RT regime and all other would be classified into “normal”. Another type of influence on RT strategy was that patients had to shift planned RT hospital from Grade-A tertiary hospital to local hospitals. Univariable analyses of FCR were performed in a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) or student t-test or Pearson correlation analyses and candidate variables with P Citation Format: Jinrong Xie, Weixiang Qi, Lu Cao, Yuting Tan, Jin Huang, Xiaodong Gu, Bingguang Chen, Peipei Shen, Ying Zhang, Qingwen Zhao, Hecheng Huang, Yubin Wang, Haicheng Fang, Zhenjun Jin, Hui Li, Xuehong Zhao, Xiaofang Qian, Feifei Xu, Dan Ou, Shubei Wang, Cheng Xu, Min Li, Zefei Jiang, Yu Wang, Xiaobo Huang, Jiayi Chen.
