Researchers at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center reported some encouraging results on the effects of yoga on women who are undergoing radiation treatments for breast cancer. This preliminary study looked at just 61 patients who particpated in a specially designed yoga program around the same time as they were going for radiation treatments.
The women reported a significant increase in physical function, as well as improved general health, after only one week!
A larger follow-up study is now being done, funded by the National Cancer Institute.
Hi Ellen,
This is a wonderful article and naturally, I'm thinking that this would be good for my listening audience to hear. Can we plan a show about this?
