Health: Couple-Based Mind-Body Intervention in Lung Cancer/Story: Mad Scientist, 10,11

Lorenzo's Health Corner: Couple-Based Mind-Body Intervention Eases Anxiety in Lung Cancer   By Brielle Urciuoli “An advanced lung cancer diagnosis can be extremely stressful for patients and their loved ones, but a couples-based mindfulness intervention may be able to help.   A metastatic lung cancer diagnosis often does not stop at having physical effects. The disease, which comes with high symptom burden, can also negatively affect the psychosocial and spiritual wellbeing of patients and their partners.   To ease this distress, researchers at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston created a couple-based mind-body (CBMB) intervention. They tested it on a small group of adult couples, each of which involved a patient with a stage 4 non-small cell lung cancer diagnosis. The results were presented at the 2017 Palliative and Supportive Care in Oncology Symposium.”   https://www.curetoday.com/articles/couplebased-mindbody-intervention-eases-anxiety-in-lung-cancer- Story: Franny K.
