First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jul 10, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether a 10-week remote stress management program (R-CBSM) can reduce distress and slow aging in 192 breast cancer survivors aged 50+. Participants attend group video sessions on relaxation and coping skills. Researchers will measure changes in stress, immune cell health, and aging markers over 12 months.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Remotely-delivered Cognitive Behavioral Stress Management (R-CBSM)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a practical way to reduce stress and possibly slow aging-related effects in breast cancer survivors.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage study with no prior results. The benefits may be small or not last long, and the program requires time and internet access.
