Active substance

Managing Anxiety from Cancer (MAC) psychotherapy program

What this could lead to

If this works, it could provide a practical, culturally tailored therapy to reduce anxiety in Latino older adults with cancer and their caregivers.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage study with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The therapy may not reduce anxiety more than usual care.
