Research and expert opinions suggest that adolescents and young adults experience more complex, more severe, and longer-lasting distress than children or adults with cancer diagnoses. This distress tends to be worse after cancer treatment completion. This study assesses the effectiveness and feasibility of a mindfulness-based intervention (MBI) in decreasing symptoms of stress, anxiety and depression, the impact on quality of life and cognitive vulnerability processes and on the development of mindfulness skills.
