Influence of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) on Telomerase Activity in Women With Breast Cancer (BC)
Overview
This randomized controlled study investigates whether Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction for Breast Cancer (MBSR-BC) affects telomerase activity and telomere length in 142 breast cancer survivors. The research compares participants in a six-week MBSR program against a usual care control group, measuring biological markers at baseline, six weeks, and twelve weeks. Results indicate that the MBSR group experienced a significant increase in telomerase activity compared to the control group, while no difference was observed for telomere length.
