Summary

This pilot clinical trial studies how well a mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) intervention works in reducing anxiety in patients who have undergone treatment for gynecologic cancer but no longer have any sign of disease. Gynecologic cancer is cancer of the female reproductive tract, which includes the cervix, endometrium, fallopian tubes, ovaries, uterus, and vagina. Side effects from treatment for these cancers may include anxiety, fatigue, depression, and sexual function changes. Mindfulness training uses meditation and yoga to help patients focus on breathing, bodily sensations, and mental awareness. This may help decrease patients' stress and anxiety and improve their quality of life, and may also help their immune system.
