A mindfulness intervention and a survivorship education intervention both reduced depressive symptoms in younger breast cancer survivors in a phase 3, randomized trial. The mindfulness intervention also reduced fatigue, hot flash severity, and sleep disturbances. These results, from the Pathways to Wellness trial, were reported at the 2020 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium.

For some older breast cancer survivors, getting a good night’s sleep could be essential to maintaining a healthy brain, according to a recent study.
