Yoga Versus Standard Care for Reducing Fatigue in Hispanic Cancer Survivors (YOCAS©®)

This is a phase II 2-arm randomized controlled trial comparing yoga (Yoga for Cancer Survivors, YOCAS©®) to standard care in reducing cancer-related fatigue in Hispanic cancer survivors. Survivors randomized to Arm 1 will receive Standard Care and Arm 2 will receive standard care plus a four-week YOCAS©® intervention where Hispanic survivors attend yoga sessions together. We will acquire preliminary data on cancer-related fatigue, as well as, secondary data on other common side effects.
