The Management of Fatigue in Cancer Patients
نویسنده
چکیده
Fatigue, the most common symptom reported by people with cancer, is associated with functional impairments and decrements in quality of life. As Drs. Lipman and Lawrence have pointed out, research on the etiology of cancer-related fatigue is scant. Morrow et al[1] conducted a detailed review of the evidence to support four hypotheses for cancer-related fatigue and highlighted independent findings that implicate cytokines, 5-HT, and the hypothalamic-pituitary axis in the development of cancer-related fatigue. Additional research is needed in this area to articulate the pathophysiology of fatigue and the associated clinical implications.
