Lonavala (Maharashtra) [India], November 9: As the global cancer burden rises to 30 million cases by 2040, healthcare systems face a critical challenge in providing supportive care for patients and survivors. Recent advancements in cancer treatments have increased survival rates to 68%, but standard treatments often cause debilitating side-effects. Lifestyle transformation is crucial for improving health and quality of life, and yoga has emerged as a valuable tool. Research has consistently shown yoga's positive impact on cancer-related care, particularly in the psychological domain. Yoga interventions improve health-related quality of life, reduce cancer-related fatigue, anxiety, and depression, and enhance overall wellbeing. Kaivalyadhama, a pioneer in yoga research and therapy, has collaborated with institutions like Tata ACTREC and MDTC to offer yoga-based interventions to cancer patients and survivors.
