摘要:: Cancer-related fatigue is now the most prevalent symptom of cancer, occurring in 60-90% of patients. Fatigue has been identified by cancer patients as a factor influencing functionality and quality of life. Our objectives in developing a fatigue specialty clinic at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center were to improve our patients' quality of life by decreasing fatigue; educate health care providers, patients, and patients' families about cancer-related fatigue; develop an appropriate clinical and diagnostic evaluation for this symptom; correlate objective measures of fatigue with its clinical evaluation; and develop innovative treatment plans for cancer-related fatigue. This article describes the general clinic design and operations and the preliminary analysis of the first 40 patients evaluated in the fatigue clinic.
