The problem of cancer-related fatigue, which affects 70% to 100% of cancer patients, has been exacerbated by the increased use of fatigue-inducing multimodal treatments and dose-dense, dose-intense protocols. In patients with metastatic disease, the prevalence of cancer-related fatigue exceeds 75%, and cancer survivors report that fatigue is a disruptive symptom months or even years after treatment ends. To address the significant problem of cancer-related fatigue, the NCCN convened a panel of experts in the field of fatigue. The Cancer-Related Fatigue Clinical Practice Guidelines synthesize the available research and clinical experience in this field and provide recommendations for patient care.
