Cancer-related fatigue in palliative care: a global perspective

International Journal of Palliative Nursing, May 2016, vol. 22, no. 5, p. 244-252
Vilchynska, Tetyana, Beard, Barbara

Apart from exercise, cognitive behavioural therapy and psychosocial interventions, there is an absence of high quality evidence that favours any particular pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments for cancer-related fatigue. The authors propose solutions for an optimum CRF care pathway in the palliative setting using an integrated care pathway, with an emphasis on treating the symptoms not the syndrome.
