Symptoms of depression, fatigue, pain, and loss of appetite are often associ-
ated with cancer and cancer treatments and can significantly worsen quality
of life of patients. Interestingly, a number of studies published in the last five
decades suggest that brief cooling of the body can reduce pain and fatigue
and improve mood and appetite in healthy subjects and in some groups of
patients. Possible physiological mechanisms of these effects are discussed at
length in this document. Repeated moderate cooling (e.g., adapted cold
showers) could improve several aspects of quality of life, although the effec-
tiveness of this approach in cancer patients has not been investigated. Mod-
erately cold hydrotherapy is safe for the vast majority of people and may al-
low a patient to undergo more rounds of chemo-, radiotherapy, and/or sur-
gery because cold hydrotherapy can reduce the side effects of these treat-
ments. Methodological details and potential practical difficulties are discussed
in the text.
