Book excerpt: Our fear of cancer causes great harm to individual health and to society. The fear of cancer is understandable. But that fear is in some ways outdated, as it fails to account for the medical progress made against this family of diseases. In Curing Cancerphobia, David Ropeik reveals the fascinating historical and psychological roots of our fear of cancer and documents the dramatic health and financial harms caused when that fear exceeds the risk. Fear of cancer drives millions for whom screening is not recommended to screen for the disease anyway, producing tens of thousands of emotionally damaging false positives and costing the US health care system an estimated $9.2 billion a year. At the same time, fear of cancer also causes many people for whom screening is recommended to avoid it altogether. Modern screening technologies often identify cancers that do not spread or that grow so slowly they almost certainly will never cause harm in a person's lifetime. Yet many of these people, frightened by the word "cancer" in their diagnosis, understandably choose more aggressive and risky treatments than their clinical conditions require. These unnecessary treatments kill hundreds of people, cause severe side effects in thousands, and cost the health care system at least $5.2 billion a year. Additionally, consumers spend billions of dollars on vitamins and supplements, organic food, and other products that promise to reduce our risk of cancer but do not actually reduce it. And an excessive fear of cancer causes resistance to potentially beneficial technologies like nuclear power and fluoridation of tap water. After documenting these harms, Ropeik offers tools and suggestions to help reduce the negative impacts of cancerphobia. Based on extensive research including interviews with experts and cancer patients, Curing Cancerphobia confronts our emotional relationship with the disease we fear more than any other.

Book excerpt: In 48 cases of claims of psychic injury due to asbestos exposure, seven were diagnosed as "cancerphobia." Cancerphobia is a concept primarily used in personal injury cases with little support in the medical community. Analysis of standards for phobia indicates that the term is inappropriate for such legal claims. Phobic reactions are avoidant reactions with panic or intense anxiety on exposure to the phobic stimulus. The cases reviewed indicate lack of psychiatric symptomatology, lack of conformance to accepted standards, and insufficient attention to history--medical and otherwise. This clinical review supports the contention of Simon that cancerphobia is not a credible classification. Skepticism is merited where potential damage awards are limited by minimal physical findings with resultant emphasis on claims of illness phobia, an example being exposure to a toxic substance like asbestos, which may be followed, but not necessarily so, by a variety of adverse consequences. Professional persons should be alert to the misuse of medical concepts in such cases.
