Core Tip	This meta-analysis offers moderate-certainty evidence indicating that Tai Chi is a safe and effective mind-body intervention for reducing cancer-related fatigue (CRF) and enhancing sleep quality in cancer patients. Potential benefits were also observed regarding quality of life; however, this finding is supported by low-certainty evidence. Overall, these results support the use of Tai Chi as a complementary therapy for alleviating CRF.
