Susceptibility and severity of cancer-related fatigue in colorectal cancer patients is associated with SLC6A4 gene single nucleotide polymorphism rs25531 A>G genotype.
In addition, in an inclusive meta-analysis, we tested the hypothesis that depression following a diagnosis of cancer is associated with biallelic 5-HTTLPR genotype.
The aim of this study was to examine the effects of the SSRI antidepressant drug citalopram on anxiety, depression and mental adjustment to cancer in terminally ill cancer patients, considering also the 5-HTTLPR genetic polymorphism.
The aim of this study has therefore been to examine depression, anxiety and mental adaptation to cancer in terminally ill and depressed cancer patients, in relation to treatment with sertraline and to the 5-HTTLPR genetic polymorphism.
