Mindfulness-based interventions, such as Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, may improve mental health and quality of life in cancer patients. The review of the literature indicates that these psychosocial approaches help patients cope with stress, anxiety, depression, and reduced quality of life associated with diagnosis and treatment. The paper also examines the impact of MBIs on physical activity among cancer patients, though the review does not provide a single quantitative finding.
