Summary

This study tested whether using a person's DNA to select an antidepressant works better than standard prescribing for cancer patients with depression or anxiety. 99 adults with cancer were randomly assigned to either DNA-guided drug choice or usual care. The researchers compared changes in depression, anxiety, and quality of life between the two groups.
