Abstract:
Cancer-related fatigue(CRF) is one of the important symptoms for cancer patients,especially for the long-term survival patients after treatment.Its complexity and interdependency with other symptoms make it difficult to identify the clear underlying mechanisms. No single etiologic model provides a satisfactory explanation of cancer-related fatigue.For mild fatigue,non-pharmacological therapy is recommended.Non-pharmacological therapy combined with pharmacological therapies is recommended for patients with moderate and severe fatigue.
