Head and neck cancer, which includes the oral cancer, is the seventh commonest cancer worldwide, estimating for more than 660,000 fresh cases and 325,000 mortalities every year. However, cancer and its treatment are often associated with prolonged adverse physical and psychosocial symptoms, including reduced physical function and fitness and increased risk of anxiety, depression, and fatigue. This greatly impacts the patient's quality of life (QoL). The aim of the present study is to conduct a systematic review of the effects of yoga in in quality of life among patients with oral cancer. An electronic database search was performed to identify the suitable literature using Cochrane, EBSCO host, PubMed and Trip database. The literary search was focused on the effect of yoga on quality of life among oral cancer patients. A total of 23 relevant studies were identified, and only 2 articles were taken for the systematic review. The review concludes that yoga improves the quality of life among oral cancer patients.
