YOGA FOR BREAST CANCER

This systematic review of randomized controlled trials revealed evidence of effectiveness only for yoga during chemotherapy or radiotherapy but not after completion of active treatment.  The review found that yoga improved psychological health in this patient population.
Twelve RCTs and 742 patients were included in this project.

The University of Duisburg-Essen, Essen, Germany produced this research project.  See the full article @ Can yoga improve fatigue in breast cancer patients? A systematic review.
