Group-Based Support Interventions for Adolescents and Young Adults With Lymphoma: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial.
Psycho-oncology December 1, 2025 Dalnim Cho, Sairah Ahmed, Stella Snyder et al.
For adolescents and young adults with lymphoma undergoing chemotherapy, a group-based psychoeducation intervention delivered via videoconference led to significant improvements in cancer-related symptom severity and interference over 12 weeks, while a meditation-based intervention did not show similar benefits. Both interventions were feasible, with comparable attendance and assessment completion rates, though consent was only 51.4%. Virtual delivery of supportive care appears accessible and scalable, but strategies to improve adherence and retention are needed.
