The Promise of Mindfulness‐Based Interventions: A Stress‐Reduction Strategy for Testicular Cancer Survivors' Health‐Related Quality of Life
To date, no fully developed mindfulness trials have been developed specifically for TC survivors. Given the early age of diagnosis and long survivorship trajectories, as well as the unique psychological and physiological health outcomes associated with TC, MBIs may be especially well-suited to this population. This review calls for a renewed focus on implementing mindfulness-based strategies designed for the lived realities of TC survivors. Doing so may meaningfully enhance post-treatment outcomes, reduce disparities in male mental health care, and promote holistic wellness in one of the most underserved cancer survivor populations.
