简要总结

This study is being done to test the effects of Managing Anxiety from Cancer (MAC) therapy on anxiety compared to usual care, in patients and their caregivers. MAC is different from usual care because it uses a plan for managing anxiety that has been shown to work in previous studies. MAC has designed this plan for people 65 years of age and older. MAC also includes the primary caregiver which has been shown to help patients manage their anxiety.
