The fear of cancer is often referred to as “carcinophobia.” It is a specific phobia characterized by an excessive and irrational fear of developing cancer. This fear can significantly impact a person’s quality of life, leading to avoidance of medical check-ups, heightened anxiety about health, and persistent worry about symptoms that may be perceived as signs of cancer.
