Radiotherapy is a common and effective treatment for women with breast cancer. However, radiotherapy has also been shown to adversely affect patients’ emotional well-being. Currently, few mind-body interventions are designed to improve patients’ quality of life during radiotherapy. One intervention which has demonstrated clinical efficacy in the breast cancer radiotherapy setting is CBTH (Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy plus Hypnosis). The goal of this study was to investigate the impact of CBTH on emotional distress in women with breast cancer undergoing radiotherapy. One hundred patients were randomly assigned to either the CBTH (n=50) or Attention Control (AC) (n=50) group. Results revealed significant benefits of CBTH on emotional distress at the midpoint (d=0.54), the conclusion (d=0.64), and four weeks following the conclusion (d=0.65) of radiotherapy (all ps < .05). In conclusion, results support further study of CBTH as an evidence-based intervention to reduce emotional distress women with breast cancer. CBTH has the benefits of being brief, noninvasive, lacking side-effects, and producing beneficial effects which last beyond the conclusion of radiotherapy. Given these strengths, we propose that CBTH is a strong candidate for greater dissemination and implementation in cancer populations.
