Introduction: Breast cancer is one of the leading malignant neoplasms in women. Radiotherapy is among the types of treatment which, although safe, causes several side effects that impair health-related quality of life. Objective: To evaluate the effect of integrative and complementary practice of relaxation with guided visualization in improving health-related quality of in women with breast cancer undergoing radiotherapy. Method: Quantitative, quasi-experimental, pre-and post-test study, conducted with 25 women with breast cancer undergoing radiotherapy at an Oncology Center in the South of Minas Gerais, between July 2019 and March 2020. Sociodemographic and clinical data were collected, the Quality-of-Life Questionnaire-Core 30 of the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC QLQ-C30) was used to assess quality of life, applied at three stages of the treatment. The relaxation sections were applied three times a week during the entire radiotherapy treatment. Results: Most of the patients were aged 41-60 years, with an average level of education, retired, Catholic, white, married and in IIA staging. The scores related to the functional scales showed improvement throughout the treatment. The prevalent symptoms for the symptom scale were insomnia, constipation and fatigue. Conclusion: The practice of relaxation was effective in improving the domains of health-related quality of life, being a low-cost practice that can be applied by trained professionals.
