Yoga study seeks volunteers

Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center researchers are looking for 60 Seattle-area women to participate in a study to test the effectiveness of yoga on quality of life, fatigue and weight change in women diagnosed with breast cancer.

The Yoga Study, funded by the National Cancer Institute, wants to recruit overweight female breast-cancer survivors, ages 21 to 75, who have completed their primary treatment (surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy) three months to two years ago.

To learn more, contact the Yoga Study at 206-667-6818 or yogastudy@fhcrc.org. Visit http://www.fhcrc.org/science/phs/yoga.
