Abstract: Cancer-related fatigue (CRF) is one of the most common symptoms in clinical cancer patients.It is associated with cancer itself or with cancer-related therapies.It is a persistent and subjective tiredness experience.It not only affects the patient;s physical,psychological and physical condition,social function,quality of life,but also may cause interruption of cancer-related treatment and affect the patient's life.However,the etiology and mechanism of CRF are not fully understood.Many foreign scholars believe that the occurrence of CRF may be related to anemia,obesity,tumor type,insomnia,inflammatory cytokines,hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and so on.As cancer patients demand higher quality of life,CRF are increasingly receiving medical attention.In this paper,the related factors and mechanisms of CRF are stated.
