Cancers and cancer treatments produce multiple symptoms that collectively cause a symptom burden for patients. These symptoms include pain, wasting, fatigue, cognitive impairment, anxiety, and depression, many of which co‐occur. There is growing recognition that at least some of these symptoms may share common biologic mechanisms.

Association between decreased serum tryptophan concentrations and depressive symptoms in cancer patients undergoing cytokine therapy
- Psychology, BiologyMolecular Psychiatry
- 2002
Assessment of the relationship between serum concentrations of the amino acids tryptophan and tyrosine, major precursors of serotonin and norepinephrine respectively, and depression symptoms in cancer patients undergoing cytokine therapy indicates that the development of depressive symptoms in patients undergoing chemotherapy could be mediated by a reduced availability of the serotonin relevant amino acid precursor, tryptophile.
