Men with prostate cancer who are treated with radiation therapy experience significant side effects such as fatigue, sleep problems, anxiety and depressive symptoms. But listening to mindfulness audio recordings significantly eased those symptoms, a new Northwestern Medicine study has found. 

While reclining and receiving their daily 5-to-15-minute radiation treatment, men in the study listened to short (3 to 6 minutes) audio-based mindfulness recordings that asked them to focus on their breath, posture, sounds and environment.
