Doctors vs. counselors: which genetic testing approach causes less stress?

NCT ID NCT02917798

Summary

This study is testing a different way to provide genetic testing to cancer patients. Instead of referring patients to a genetic counselor, doctors themselves order the tests, and counselors then give results by phone. Researchers are measuring how this change affects patient distress levels compared to the usual approach.
