摘要

Cancer-related fatigue (CrF) is a persistent subjective burden caused by physical, emotional, and/or cognitive tiredness or exhaustion associated with cancer or cancer treatment. It is one of the most common burdens experienced by cancer patients and survivors. Cancer-related fatigue is associated with considerable suffering, reduced quality of life, and can even lead to poorer treatment adherence. In everyday clinical practice, CrF is underreported, underdiagnosed, and undertreated. However, CrF can be diagnosed with adequate diagnostic tools and a good understanding of the clinical profile. Further insights into its causes and pharmacological interventions are needed. Nevertheless, in addition to movement therapy, helpful and effective psychotherapeutic and mindfulness-based treatment options are now available (e.g., cognitive behavioral therapy, energy and activity management, acceptance and commitment therapy, yoga). It is important to those affected that their subjective stress be taken seriously by healthcare professionals, so that the starting point for optimized stress management can be established.
