Why fatigue?

Cancer Symptom Trials (CST) recently completed a Delphi study in adult cancer symptom research priorities in Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand. Both consumers and health care professionals (HCPs) reported that fatigue was the symptom that was the most troublesome.

Drawing on the Delphi study finding and given its relationship to other cancer symptoms as well as its universal presence, we believe that fatigue should be a high priority for further clinical research.
