Summary

This study looks at whether a short exercise or mind-body program (like relaxation techniques) can help women with breast cancer feel less stressed and anxious while waiting for surgery. About 49 women will take part for 3-6 weeks before their operation. Researchers will also check if these programs cause any changes in tumor cells or blood markers linked to breast cancer, but these results won't be shared because their meaning for long-term health is unknown.
