This study was a randomised controlled study on the effects of the individual computer magnanimous therapy and group computer magnanimous therapy on emotional, psychosomatic and immune function among advanced lung cancer patients. Patients were examined at baseline and 2 weeks later using the Psychosomatic Status Scale for Cancer Patients, Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale and IgA, IgG, IgM and natural killer cell functions. The results showed that individual computer magnanimous therapy and group computer magnanimous therapy were beneficial for advanced lung cancer patients in improving depression, anxiety, psychosomatic status and immune functions. The improvements of immune functions may be related to the improvements of the participants' emotional and psychosocial status.

Introduction: This study aims to evaluate the effects of group computer magnanimous therapy (GCMT) on magnanimous-enterprising levels and brain metabolic changes in patients with advanced lung cancer.

Methods: In this multicenter, randomized controlled trial, 47 participants diagnosed with advanced stage (III or IV) lung cancer were randomly assigned to either the GCMT group (GCMTG, = 31) or the control group (CTRLG, = 16). The GCMTG received routine oncotherapy and care along with eight sessions of GCMT over 2 weeks, while the CTRLG received only oncotherapy and routine care.

Objectives: We examined the effects of magnanimous therapy on psychological coping, adjustment, living function, and survival rate in patients with advanced lung cancer.

Methods: Patients with advanced lung cancer ( = 145) matched by demographics and medical variables were randomly assigned to an individual computer magnanimous therapy group (ic-mt), a group computer magnanimous therapy group (gc-mt), or a control group (ctrl). Over 2 weeks, the ic-mt and gc-mt groups received eight 40-minute sessions of ic-mt or gc-mt respectively, plus usual care; the ctrl group received only usual care.
