Summary

This study looks at whether a single, detailed meeting with a psycho-oncology counselor soon after a cancer diagnosis can lower anxiety and depression and improve quality of life. About 148 adults with a recent cancer diagnosis will be randomly assigned to either receive this extra counseling plus standard care, or standard care alone. Researchers will track their mood and well-being over 6 months using questionnaires.
