Summary

Cancer incidence is increasing worldwide, and although survival rates have improved thanks to advances in treatment and early detection, many patients continue to experience reduced quality of life (QoL), anxiety, depression, and distress. Mind-body therapies (MBTs)-including mindfulness, laughter yoga, and art therapy-are increasingly integrated into supportive oncology care. Evidence suggests these therapies may improve psychosocial well-being; however, existing research often suffers from methodological limitations, small samples, and limited generalizability.

The OTIUM centers in Geneva and Meyrin offer structured MBT programs to cancer patients. This project aims to evaluate the evolution of QoL and emotional distress in patients participating in one of these therapies, using validated patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs).
