Journal of Clinical Oncology, 04/19/2012
Exclusive author commentary
Goldstein D et al. – Cancer–related fatigue (CRF) is common but generally runs a self–limiting course. Much of the previously reported high rates of persistent CRF may be attributable to factors unrelated to the cancer or its treatment.
David Goldstein (04/19/2012) comments:
The challenge arising from our study is to identify those patients who are likely to develop a protracted and disabling post treatment fatigue syndrome and focus intensive strategies on them and reassuring the majority of women that they will not have long term consequences.
