Study Description

Brief Summary: The study aims to investigate, through serial measurements of some biomarkers, the potential mechanisms through which yoga impacts on QOL and fatigue.

Detailed Description: The study aims to assess QoL, fatigue and physiological distress (cortisol and proinflammatory markers) with blood sampling on day 1,15 and last of radiotherapy, at 1-3-6 months after the end of radiotherapy. Patients with breast cancer who will undergo radiotherapy will be randomly assigned to the yoga group (YG) or the control group (CG). Patients in the YG will participate in 2 weekly yoga classes during the 5 weeks of radiation therapy. The classes will be coordinated with the treatment program and will be held in the vicinity of the radiation therapy center.
