Paddison JS et al. - The exploratory study provides empiric data showing that the severity of fatigue reported by advanced-stage NSCLC patients is significantly associated with length of survival. Consistent with existing data, linear regression identified a negative association between fatigue intensity and hemoglobin concentration. When authors controlled for this effect, further linear regressions identified significant relationships between fatigue and blood concentrations of neutrophils and monocytes.
