Writing away worries: new study helps young cancer survivors cope with body image
NCT ID NCT06046014
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a simple at-home writing program could help teens and young adults (ages 15-39) who finished cancer treatment feel less distressed about their body image and reduce anxiety. Thirty survivors participated in a four-week expressive writing program. The goal was to see if this approach is practical and helpful for this group.
