HONOLULU (AP) — Researchers are trying to find out if hula can heal breast cancer.
KHNL-TV reports (https://bit.ly/1Fdg9my ) University of Hawai’i Cancer Center researchers have spent the last six months gathering data to determine hula’s healing effects.
All of the 12 women participating in the clinical trial are breast cancer survivors and have been treated within the past five years. The women have been meeting twice a week to dance.
The study has ended, but the women are still dancing.
A lead investigator in the study, Dr. Erin Bantum, says she has noticed changes in the women. She says the women have been uplifted and their excitement has increased since the study began.
Researchers are working to figure out if improved mental health can reduce the likelihood of the cancer making a return.
