Ancient wisdom meets modern science: stress program may slow aging in breast cancer survivors
NCT ID NCT05984914
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether a stress management program called Pythagorean Self-Awareness Intervention could help breast cancer survivors. 120 women who had finished their main cancer treatments (but could still be on hormone therapy) took part. The researchers measured stress, anxiety, and even looked at telomere length (a marker of cellular aging) in their blood. The goal was to see if managing stress could improve both mental and physical health after cancer.
