A systematic review and meta-analysis of 14 randomized controlled trials with 1,316 participants found that online mindfulness-based interventions improved anxiety, stress, quality of life, sleep quality, and fatigue severity in cancer patients, but did not significantly affect depression. The evidence suggests these digital programs may help reduce psychological distress and other symptoms, though more rigorous trials are needed.
