Tumor-Related Fatigue

Tumor-related fatigue is a profound and persistent feeling of tiredness often experienced by individuals with cancer. Unlike typical fatigue, it does not improve with rest and can impact daily activities and quality of life. This fatigue may stem from the cancer itself, its treatments, or related factors such as stress, anxiety, and changes in nutrition. It's important to recognize and address this fatigue, as it can vary in intensity and duration, affecting physical, emotional, and social well-being. Supportive care, including therapies and lifestyle adjustments, can help manage this condition.
