Summary

This study looks at whether a yoga program can improve physical performance, quality of life, and reduce symptoms like fatigue and distress in cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy and their partners. About 600 patients with lung, head and neck, or esophageal cancer, along with their partners, will take part in yoga or stretching sessions. The goal is to see if these activities help both patients and their caregivers feel better during and after treatment.
