Primary Aim:~To collect preliminary data comparing the effects of a YOCAS©® intervention to standard care on changes in cancer-related fatigue among Hispanic cancer survivors immediately post-intervention.~Secondary Aims:~A) To collect preliminary data comparing the effects of a YOCAS©® intervention to standard care on changes in quality of life and physical functioning.~OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.~Arm 1 = Participants undergo standard follow-up care provided by their treating oncologists as appropriate for individual diagnoses. Participants in the control condition are offered the 4-week YOCAS©® program gratis after completing all study requirements.~Arm 2 = Participants undergo the YOCAS©® intervention comprising 18 specific physical postures and mindfulness exercises focused on breathing and meditation and meet with the yoga instructor over 75 minutes 2 times a week for 4 weeks.
This is a phase II 2-arm randomized controlled trial comparing yoga (Yoga for Cancer Survivors, YOCAS©®) to standard care in reducing cancer-related fatigue in Hispanic cancer survivors. Survivors randomized to Arm 1 will receive Standard Care and Arm 2 will receive standard care plus a four-week YOCAS©® intervention where Hispanic survivors attend yoga sessions together. Investigators will acquire preliminary data on cancer-related fatigue, as well as, secondary data on other common side effects.
