Resumen
Con el aumento de la prevalencia del cáncer, han aumentado también los trastornos emocionales, derivados tanto de la enfermedad per se como por los tratamientos requeridos. Cada vez con más frecuencia la fatiga o la ansiedad aparecen en el paciente oncológico haciendo que su calidad de vida se vea afectada negativamente, lo que hace que cada vez más profesionales se interesen por buscar modalidades no farmacológicas para prevenir o tratar estos síntomas. Hay un creciente interés en el estudio de terapias como el yoga, la cual podemos incorporar como técnica complementaria a la atención habitual. Sin embargo, falta evidencia científica que corrobore sus beneficios

There is a growing interest in the study of therapies such as yoga, which may be required as a complementary technique to usual care. However, there is a lack of scientific evidence to corroborate its benefits.
