Experience and Management of Cancer Screening-Related Anxiety in Fanconi Anemia

Background: Fanconi anemia (FA) is a rare, inherited cancer syndrome. FA causes a range of physical issues. Children with FA may have abnormal features; these may include a small head and eyes and issues with their internal organs. Young adults have a much higher risk of cancer. To screen for these cancers, people with FA may need to pursue many visits with different doctors. This constant need for cancer screening may cause anxiety for people with FA. Objective: To learn more about anxiety related to cancer screenings in people with FA. Eligibility: Adults aged 18 years and older with FA. They must also be enrolled in FACSS. FACSS is a study that screens people with FA for cancer every year. Design: All data gathered for this study will occur during routine FACSS visits. No other visits are needed.

These can include lights and noises as well as ease of traveling around the clinic center. * Evidence of social support, such as engaging in the FA community. * Challenges they ve had in FACSS. * Their motivation to participate in FACSS. * Relationship dynamics among clinic staff, participants, and their care partners.
