Research & Scholarship: Non-textual formWeb publication/site

Abstract

In a feasibility trial published in Psycho-Oncology, breast cancer survivors appeared to benefit from a combination of exercise and mindfulness training. According to Sean P. Mullen, PhD, of Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and colleagues, this study provides an evidence-based approach to addressing chronic cancer-related fatigue in this patient population. Their results indicated that the incorporation of weekly aerobic exercise and relaxation training resulted in reducing fatigue in these cancer survivors.
