AB  - BACKGROUND: Yoga receive more attention from breast cancer patients, however its 
      feasibility and efficacy during chemotherapy remains conflicting. We performed 
      this systematic review to assess the effects of yoga on health-related quality, 
      physical health and psychological health in breast cancer patients undergoing 
      chemotherapy. METHODS: A systematic search was conducted to retrieve randomized 
      controlled trials (RCTs) which investigated the comparative efficacy of yoga 
      versus comparators such as usual care among breast cancer patients for 
      health-related quality, physical health and psychological health in PubMed, 
      EMBASE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CNETRAL), Nursing and 
      Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Chinese Biomedical Literature (CBM) Database, 
      China Science and Technology Journal (CSTJ) Database, China National Knowledge 
      Infrastructure (CNKI), and Wangfang Database from inception to December 2018. The 
      latest search was updated on September 2020. All analyses were completed using 
      RevMan version 5.3. RESULTS: Seven trials involving 693 breast cancer patients 
      met inclusion criteria. Meta-analysis indicated a short-term improvement in 
      fatigue [standard mean difference (SMD), -0.62; 95% confidence interval (CI), 
      -1.17 to -0.07], sleep disturbance (SMD, -0.34; 95% CI, -0.55 to -0.12), 
      depression (SMD, -0.50; 95% CI, -0.70 to -0.31) anxiety (SMD, -0.50; 95% CI, 
      -0.70 to -0.31), and health-related quality of life (QoL) (SMD, 0.72; 95% CI, 
      -0.12 to 1.56) in the yoga group; however beneficial medium- and long-term 
      effects in fatigue, sleep disturbance were not identified. Moreover, qualitative 
      analyses suggested that yoga was not associated with decreased adverse events 
      (AEs) compared with control groups. CONCLUSIONS: Yoga may benefit to reduce 
      fatigue, depression and anxiety, improve sleep disturbance, and improve QoL in 
      breast cancer patients receiving chemotherapy in the short-term; however, medium- 
      and long-term effects should be further established owing to limitations.
