Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate pharmacogenomics (PGx) guided drug prescribing for pain and depression in patients with cancer. The investigators aim to understand how PGx testing can be used to improve medication management for pain and depression, and whether PGx-guided prescribing improves these symptoms and quality of life compared to historical controls.
