This trial is testing a new approach called Open Door for Cancer to help older adults with cancer who are experiencing depression or low mood connect with mental health support. The program delivers five mental health sessions over six weeks using phone or video calls, plus one follow-up call. Researchers want to see if this approach is practical and helpful for cancer patients and the doctors who care for them.
Many older adults with cancer struggle with depression and low mood, but they often don't receive mental health care. This trial exists to test whether a focused, phone-based program can make it easier and more effective to connect these patients with the mental health support they need during their cancer treatment.

If you join this study, you will either receive the new Open Door for Cancer program or continue with your usual cancer care. If assigned to the new program, you'll have three 30-minute sessions over six weeks plus one follow-up call, all delivered by phone or video at times that work for you. The sessions will be recorded to help researchers evaluate the program. The entire study lasts about six weeks, and you'll complete some brief questionnaires to help researchers understand how the program is working.
