Abstract: | In recent years, as treatment options for cancer sufferers have become more successful but also more exhausting, fatigue has become increasingly distressing and extreme for these patients. Despite this, the assessment and management of fatigue is frequently overlooked by health-care professionals. This article will focus on the assessment and management of cancer-related fatigue in patients with advanced cancer, assessing the evidence base in order to guide practice in a subject that poses a particular challenge to palliative care practitioners. |
