Abstract

Pronounced fatigue including tiredness and lack of energy are common both during and after cancer treatment. Between 15–35 % of adult cancer survivors experience chronic fatigue. Chronic fatigue has a negative impact on affected individuals’ social, occupational and general functioning, and may lead to a considerably reduced quality of life.
