Summary

This study tests whether a single hypnosis session during chemotherapy can reduce anxiety and other side effects like nausea in young people with cancer. It includes 70 participants aged 15-49 with sarcoma, germ cell tumors, or breast cancer. Researchers will compare anxiety levels after chemo with and without hypnosis to see if it makes a difference.
