First seen Mar 09, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 8 times

Summary

This study looks at whether giving doctors information about a patient's genes can help them personalize chemotherapy doses and reduce severe side effects. About 860 adults with certain cancers (like breast, gastrointestinal, or head and neck) will be randomly assigned to have their genetic info shared with their care team or not. The goal is to see if this approach leads to safer, more effective treatment.
