Reviewer 2 Report

I congratulate the authors of this topic. Anxiety and stress in oncological patients are problems that cause limitations in undergoing prophylactic examinations, including screening tests, and also reduce the quality of life of patients during diagnostics. The presented work may guide and help to plan interventions useful in alleviating the negative psychological effects at the stage of performing diagnostic tests for cancer.
