Key Points Question Are mindfulness-based interventions associated with decreased anxiety in adults with cancer? Findings In this systematic review and meta-analysis of 28 randomized clinical trials with 3053 participants, mindfulness-based interventions were associated with reductions in the severity of anxiety in adults with cancer up to 6 months after delivery of mindfulness sessions compared with usual care, waitlist control, or no intervention; a concomitant reduction in the severity of depression and improvement in health-related quality of life was also observed. None of the trials used mindfulness-based interventions in children with cancer. Meaning Mindfulness-based interventions were associated with a reduction in anxiety and depression in adults with cancer.
