First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether teaching emotional skills (like identifying and managing feelings) can help people who finished cancer treatment. 26 patients with digestive or lung cancer took part. Some received emotional skills training, others did relaxation exercises. The goal was to see if emotional skills improved. This is a small pilot study, so results are preliminary.
