Abstract
Fatigue is one of the most common and distressing symptoms reported by cancer patients. This article reviews research that has examined the extent to which breast cancer patients experience fatigue during and following completion of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The article also addresses methodological issues in the study of fatigue as well as the current status of efforts to prevent or relieve fatigue associated with breast cancer treatment.
