Fear of Cancer Recurrence Therapy - FORT

FORT is a cognitive-existential group intervention that focuses on the fear of cancer recurrence.  It consists of six psychotherapy group sessions that focus on teaching participants specific strategies to manage fears of cancer recurrence often experienced in oncology patients. Dr. Samara Perez and FORT were covered in a two-page editorial in the Montreal Gazette newspaper written by Susan Schwartz titled "Learning how to face the fear of cancer’s return", published on March 1, 2025, and in Le Devoir on Dec 4, 2024. 

Dr. Perez also gave an interview on December 9, 2024 about the potential benefits of FORT on Day Break Montreal.
