First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a group video app that guides breast cancer survivors through yogic breathing exercises at home. The goal was to see if the app helps reduce stress and other long-term side effects from cancer treatment. Forty survivors who finished radiation therapy within the last 6 months took part. The study measured how often they used the app and whether it improved their well-being.
