What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

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.
