Anxiety is a common symptom among patients undergoing radiation therapy, stemming from their cancer diagnosis, anticipation of side effects, and the specific challenges associated with the treatment sessions. The technical nature of the treatment, the medical setting, and the daily repetition of sessions can exacerbate this anxiety. This anxiety is likely to impair quality of life, treatment tolerance, and patient adherence to the care pathway. In this context, managing anxiety during radiation therapy is a major challenge in supportive care. Since 2021, the Finistère Center for Radiation Therapy and Oncology has been offering sophrology sessions to its cancer patients as part of a comprehensive support program aimed at improving their quality of life. The aim of the study is to assess the potential benefits of this approach and better understand its impact on patients' experiences during treatment.

| Anxiety measurement | Anxiety level is assessed with STAI questionnaire. The STAI questionnaire is a self-report anxiety questionnaire. It consists of 40 items divided (20-20) into two subscales: "trait" anxiety (which represents the patient's baseline anxiety outside of any specific situation) and "state" anxiety, which corresponds to a given situation. Each subscale ranges from 20 to 80. The trait anxiety scale asks the respondent to assess their level of anxiety in life in general. The respondent indicates their answer using a 1-to-4 Likert scale. The state anxiety scale asks the respondent to assess their level of anxiety at the present moment. The respondent indicates their answer using a 1-to-4 Likert scale. | 7 days before initiation of radiation therapy - 2 weeks after initiation of radiation therapy - 4 weeks after initiation of radiation therapy - 2 weeks after end of radiotherapy |
