Recent progress in understanding cancer-related fatigue.
Recent progress in understanding cancer-related fatigue.
Fatigue is increasingly being recognized as one of the most pervasive problems likely to arise from having cancer and/or related treatment. Fatigue occurs regardless of whether an individual is in the early or advanced stages of the disease process. This article will provide a summary of the progress that has been made in recent years in furthering understanding of this symptom. It examines key studies that have been published since 1995 in the following four areas: the experience of fatigue from the patient, family and healthcare provider perspective; development and testing of ways to measure fatigue; examination of the course, causes and correlates of fatigue; and, finally, the development and testing of interventions to prevent, alleviate and manage fatigue.

Abstract
Fatigue is increasingly being recognized as one of the most pervasive problems likely to arise from having cancer and/or related treatment. Fatigue occurs regardless of whether an individual is in the early or advanced stages of the disease process. This article will provide a summary of the progress that has been made in recent years in furthering understanding of this symptom. It examines key studies that have been published since 1995 in the following four areas: the experience of fatigue from the patient, family and healthcare provider perspective; development and testing of ways to measure fatigue; examination of the course, causes and correlates of fatigue; and, finally, the development and testing of interventions to prevent, alleviate and manage fatigue.
