This is a study to see if a talking therapy called cognitive behavioural therapy can help people with advanced cancer who are feeling low.
People who have advanced cancer may have a low mood (depression). Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is a type of talking therapy that is widely used to help improve mood. It can help you to change how you think about your situation (cognitive) and what you do to cope (behaviour).
In this study, researchers want to see if having cognitive behavioural therapy alongside usual treatment helps people with cancer who are depressed.
Recruitment start: 19 September 2012
