Cancer and Mindfulness-Based Cancer Recovery After Chemotherapy

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Breast Cancer, Colorectal Cancer, Ovarian Cancer, Uterine Cancer

In brief

Upon the completion of aggressive chemotherapy and radiation for curative intent cancers, many cancer survivors suffer from a myriad of symptoms ranging from physical symptoms such as hot flashes, insomnia, and fatigue to psychosocial symptoms including depression and anxiety. Mindfulness Based Cancer Recovery (MBCR) is a type of mind-body intervention. Mind-body interventions are defined as practices or interventions that focus on the connection and integration of the mind and body and the ability for these connections to effect changes on physical, emotional and spiritual levels for the purpose of promoting health and well being.
