Description
Globally, breast cancer is the most common cancer in women. The disease and treatment cause many unfavorable symptoms such as fatigue, pain, and psychological stress. Research suggests that stress may negatively impact survival and recurrence outcomes of breast cancer patients. Cognitive-behavioral stress management (CBSM) programs have been found to improve these outcomes. In this thesis, I propose using virtual reality as a tool for CBSM to improve symptoms and outcomes for non-metastatic breast cancer patients.
