The article presents an initial data on the feasibility and acceptability of a pilot cognitive restructuring therapy intervention and its impact on depression effects in female cancer patients at University Teaching Hospital in Lagos, Nigeria. In this study, cancer patients were receiving treatment for breast and cervical cancers. Results of the study suggest that cognitive restructuring interventions have moderate acceptance and feasibility among female cancer patients.
