Brief Summary
This clinical trial studies yoga-based rehabilitation in reducing physical and emotional side effects of living with cancer or its treatment. Yoga-based rehabilitation may reduce side effects and improve the quality of life of patients with breast, lung, or colorectal cancer.
Brief Title
Yoga-Based Rehabilitation Program in Reducing Physical and Emotional Side Effects in Patients With Cancer
Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To evaluate the effects of yoga on quality of life (QOL) of breast cancer patients on different treatment regimens.
II. To pilot the effects of a yoga-based rehabilitation program versus standard care on QOL impairment reported by newly diagnosed (a) lung and (b) colorectal patients.
III. To evaluate program compliance and satisfaction among breast, lung and colorectal cancer patients as well as among the various sociocultural subgroups (e.g., ethnicity, language).
OUTLINE: Participants are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.
GROUP I (YOGA-BASED REHABILITATION PROGRAM): Participants undergo a yoga-based rehabilitation program up to 5 days a week for 1.5 hours and practice at home at least once daily for 12 weeks.
GROUP II (STANDARD CARE/CONTROL): After a 3 month wait period, participants undergo yoga-based rehabilitation program as in Group I.

Evaluation of a Yoga-Based Cancer Rehabilitation Program
Primary Outcomes
Outcome Description
A repeated measures analysis of covariance will be performed for each of the five patient groups. This analysis will examine between and within group differences at T2 and T3 assessment points, after controlling for baseline levels of QOL.
Outcome Measure
Change in Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy summary score (physical, emotional, spiritual, and social QOL)
Outcome Time Frame
Baseline to up to 6 months
Outcome Description
Descriptive analyses (percentages) will be conducted to examine levels of compliance (class attendance + home practice) for each patient group, self-identified ethnic group, and language of preference. Logistic regression analyses will be performed to identify patients in the top 25% for compliance based on sociocultural, medical, and lifestyle factors.
Outcome Measure
Program compliance as measured by Yoga - Daily Practice Calendar and Yoga Class Attendance Record and Yoga Evaluation Form
Outcome Time Frame
Up to 6 months
Outcome Description
Descriptive analyses (percentages) will be conducted to examine levels of satisfaction (total score on yoga evaluation form) for each patient group, self-identified ethnic group, and language of preference. Logistic regression analyses will be performed to identify patients in the top 25% for satisfaction based on sociocultural, medical, and lifestyle factors.
Outcome Measure
Program satisfaction measured by Yoga - Daily Practice Calendar and Yoga Class Attendance Record and Yoga Evaluation Form
Outcome Time Frame
Up to 6 months

Secondary Outcomes
Outcome Description
Medical chart data will be examined and three separate one-way analysis of variances will be conducted to examine mean differences in adverse medical events, compliance with cancer treatment, and use of pharmacotherapy between intervention and control for each of the five cancer patient groups.
