简要总结
The purpose of this research study to find out if a program called Remotely-delivered Cognitive Behavioral Stress Management (R-CBSM) can help women with breast cancer in the period of survivorship after they have completed treatment. This is a group stress management program done from home using technology, like Zoom to conduct video calls to conduct group-based training in stress management techniques (e.g., relaxation, cognitive behavioral therapy, coping skills training) in a supportive environment. It is for women aged 50 or older who have finished their main breast cancer treatments (like surgery, radiation, or chemo) and are undergoing hormone treatment.
This study is important because many breast cancer survivors still feel stress, even after treatment ends. Teaching stress management may help the body and mind work better and may slow down the effects of aging caused by cancer and stress.

结局指标
主要结局
Change in Psychological Adaptation measured by Cancer-Specific Distress (IES-Intrusion)
时间窗: Baseline, 6 months, 12 months
Cancer-specific intrusive distress will be measured using the 7-item Intrusion subscale of the Impact of Event Scale (IES). Each item is scored 0 ("not at all"), 1 ("rarely"), 3 ("sometimes"), or 5 ("often"), yielding a total score range of 0-35. Scores reflect the frequency of intrusive, cancer-related thoughts over the past 7 days. Higher scores indicate greater intrusive distress, and lower scores indicate fewer intrusive thoughts and better psychological adaptation. Change scores will be calculated as slope of change over 3 time points (baseline, 6months, and 12 months). Negative slops indicate improvement (reduced intrusive distress), and positive values indicate worsening. Change scores (slopes) will be compared between the R-CBSM+SCP and SCP-only arms to evaluate whether the combined intervention produces greater improvement over 6 and 12 months.
Change in Immune Cell Senescence measured by Lymphocyte Metabolic Function
时间窗: Baseline, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months
Change in immune cell senescence will be measured using latent construct composite of B- and T-lymphocyte metabolic indicators (ATP production, maximum respiration, and spare respiratory capacity). A composite score will be created from ATP production, maximum respiration, and spare respiratory capacity to index lymphocyte hyper-metabolism, a marker of cancer-accelerated aging. Higher composite values indicate greater immune senescence. Composite change scores (slope of change over the 4 time points) will be compared between study arms, R-CBSM+SCP and SCP only, over 6- and 12-months Increases indicate worsening immune senescence while decrease indicate lessening immune senescence.
次要结局
- Change in Neuroendocrine Regulation measured by Composite Stress Biomarkers(Baseline, 6 months, 12 months)
- Change in Mental Health measured by Composite Depression Severity(Baseline, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months)
- Change in Quality of Life measured by Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Breast (FACT-B) Questionnaire(Baseline, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months)
