Abstract in brief

This systematic review and meta-analysis examined 29 studies involving 3476 cancer patients and survivors to determine how effective mindfulness-based interventions are at improving mental health, quality of life, and stress management related to cancer.
The findings suggest that mindfulness interventions significantly help reduce anxiety, depression, fatigue, and stress, while also improving quality of life, posttraumatic growth, and mindfulness, with mindfulness-based art therapy showing particularly strong effects on anxiety and depression across different types of cancer.
Overall, mindfulness-based practices can be considered a useful complementary therapy to help manage symptoms and improve well-being for cancer patients and survivors.]
