Fatigue in Adult Survivors of Cancer
Key Points
Key Points
- Cancer-related fatigue (CRF) is a persistent, often overwhelming feeling of physical, mental, and/or emotional exhaustion and differs from fatigue caused by exertion since it is not necessarily relieved by rest or sleep.
- CRF can affect people with cancer at any stage of the disease and at any time in the cancer trajectory, from diagnosis through long-term survivorship.
- Prevalence estimates indicate that 30–60% of patients experience moderate to severe fatigue during treatment, and 20–30% continue to experience fatigue for months or years after treatment completion.
