Eligible studies included adult women with cancer receiving MBCT and reporting quantitative outcomes on quality of life or mental health. Risk of bias was assessed using standard tools.

Participants had a mean age of 49.46 years, with breast cancer being the most common diagnosis (n = 10 studies). MBCT demonstrated improvements in QoL and selected mental health outcomes at both post-intervention and follow-up (all p &lt; 0.05). Improvements were most consistent for fatigue, fear of cancer recurrence, and mindfulness. However, the certainty of evidence ranged from low to very low, primarily due to small sample sizes, heterogeneity, and risk of bias.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>MBCT shows preliminary promise in improving QoL and psychological outcomes among women with cancer and may be feasibly integrated into survivorship care.
