Mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) and yoga have been shown to be effective in managing obesity/overweight in people without breast cancer. There is a need to systematically map the extent and range of evidence on yoga and MBIs for managing obesity/overweight after breast cancer in order to aid planning and commissioning of future research.<h4>Methods</h4>We conducted a scoping review informed by methods described by Levac et al. Five electronic databases were searched for any peer-reviewed original research (including systematic reviews) that examined the role of yoga and/or MBIs for managing overweight/obesity after breast cancer. Data were extracted on study, population, intervention, comparator and outcome characteristics, and described narratively.<h4>Results</h4>We found 18 publications representing 15 unique studies (11 clinical trials, 2 systematic reviews, and 2 observational studies). There were 10 studies on yoga, and 5 on MBIs. Of the clinical trials, only 4/11 examined a weight-related outcome as the primary outcome. The remaining trials examined lifestyle or metabolic outcomes (5/11) or unrelated outcomes such as psychological health (2/11). Gaps in the literature included small sample sizes, lack of cultural diversity amongst participants, inadequate reporting of the intervention, few lifestyle co-interventions offered, lack of active comparator groups, and inadequate safety reporting.<h4>Conclusions</h4>There is a need for adequately-powered RCTs that adhere to reporting guidelines. The use of gold-standard methods for measuring outcomes, and active comparator groups, is also recommended."],"journal":["Integrative cancer therapies"],"pagination":["15347354221137321"],"full_dataset_link":["https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC9706063"],"repository":["biostudies-literature"],"pubmed_title":["Mindfulness-based Interventions and Yoga for Managing Obesity/Overweight After Breast Cancer: A Scoping Review."],"pmcid":["PMC9706063"],"pubmed_authors":["Vuong V","Ee C","Rao V"],"additional_accession":[]},"is_claimable":false,"name":"Mindfulness-based Interventions and Yoga for Managing Obesity/Overweight After Breast Cancer: A Scoping Review.","description":"<h4>Introduction</h4>Weight gain after breast cancer is common, and obesity after breast cancer increases breast cancer recurrence and mortality.
