Yoga Can Improve Sense of Well Being in Breast Cancer Survivors

It appears that Yoga can substantially reduce Inflammation, Fatigue and improve Vitality in breast cancer survivors. This was substantiated in a randomized trial, which enrolled breast cancer patients following local intervention and adjuvant chemotherapy. The authors were also able to measure and demonstrate a drop in the cytokines associated with inflammation, such as Interleukin-6 (IL-6), Interleukin-1beta (IL-1b) and Tumor Necrosis Factor-alfa (TNFa), with Yoga intervention. These interesting and intriguing findings were published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology. A summary of this study is available to review at www.oncoprescribe.com.
