Core Tip	Despite the role of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in oncology, its specific impact on debilitating fatigue and mental health in patients with ovarian cancer remains unclear. This meta-analysis revealed that CBT simultaneously alleviates cancer-related fatigue, anxiety, depression, and sleep disturbances, while significantly improving quality of life in chemotherapy-treated patients. Nurse-guided delivery enhances these benefits. These findings suggest that CBT may be an essential non-pharmacological strategy for managing this population’s complex symptom burden.
