New online program aims to ease emotional burden for women battling lung cancer
NCT ID NCT03731585
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests an online program called BREATHE for women with non-small cell lung cancer. The program uses mindfulness, compassion, and emotional processing to help improve social well-being and reduce distress. About 70 women will participate, and the main goal is to see if the program is practical and acceptable, not yet whether it works for symptoms.
What this could mean

- Active substance
- Online psychosocial intervention (mindfulness, compassion, emotional processing sessions)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a practical online tool to help women with lung cancer feel less distressed and more supported during treatment.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage feasibility study (70 participants) focused on whether the program is acceptable and usable, not on proving it works. Results may not apply to all patients.
