New group therapy aims to ease emotional burden of advanced breast cancer

This study tests a group therapy program called LiveWell mBC for women with metastatic breast cancer who are feeling distressed. The program uses adapted Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) skills to help manage emotions and uncertainty. 48 women will be randomly assigned to either the therapy group or usual care. The goal is to see if the program is practical, acceptable, and effective at reducing depression and anxiety while improving quality of life.
