Randomized Study to Evaluate an Intervention Based on Mindfulness to Reduce Anxiety in Breast Cancer Survivors

The diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer (BC) can drastically affect the quality of life of patients with this disease by causing symptoms of vasomotor disorders, insomnia, depression and anxiety. Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is a program dedicated to fostering complete awareness in the present in order to accept the moment, thereby reducing stress. Previous studies have shown that MBSR benefits patients with chronic conditions such as mood disorders and chronic pain, as well as patients with BC. However, its usefulness in Mexican patients has not been previously studied.
