Core Tip	The study by Liu et al highlights the clinical benefits of combining epirubicin with mindfulness interventions for patients with urinary system tumors and depression. Results showed significant improvements in immune function, tumor marker levels, depression severity, quality of life, and nursing satisfaction among those receiving the combined therapy. Despite the study limitations including a small sample size and a short intervention period, the findings underscore the potential benefits of integrating mindfulness interventions into cancer treatment strategies. Given the rising incidence of urinary system tumors and associated psychological distress, further research is essential to explore similar approaches across patients with various cancer types.
