Because cancer patients are often advised to participate in physical activity as a nonpharmacologic way to manage cancer-related fatigue and levels of distress, this trial study was launched to determine if the mind-body activity Qigong holds any promise for older cancer survivors in this regard. The study took place at the Huntsman Cancer Institute at the University of Utah, and it was led by Anita Y. Kinney, MSN, PhD, of the University of New Mexico Cancer Center in Albuquerque and by Rebecca Campo, PhD, of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Read more here.
