Meditation-Based Breathing Training in Improving Target Motion Management and Reducing Distress in Patients With Abdominal or Lung Cancer Undergoing Radiation Therapy

This randomized pilot clinical trial studies the effects of meditation-based breathing training on patients' control of their breathing patterns and breathing-related movement, as well as on their psychological distress and treatment experience during radiation therapy. Meditation-based breathing training may decrease breathing-related movement and the amount of stress by improving breathing patterns in patients with abdominal or lung cancer undergoing radiation therapy.
