Summary

This pilot study tested a 10-week virtual group program called Mindful Self-Compassion for Lung Cancer (MSC-LC) in 79 adults with lung cancer who felt stigmatized. Participants were randomly assigned to the program or a waitlist that received mental health resources. The goal was to see if the program could reduce feelings of stigma and increase self-compassion. This is an early-stage study focused on symptom ease, not a cure.
