About Cancer-Related Fatigue in Chennai
Cancer-related fatigue is a persistent, distressing sense of physical, emotional, or cognitive tiredness related to cancer or its treatment that is disproportionate to recent activity and does not improve with rest. It affects the majority of patients undergoing chemotherapy, radiation, or living with advanced disease, and can significantly impair quality of life and the ability to complete daily tasks. Unlike ordinary tiredness, it often persists for months and may worsen with continued treatment. Its causes are multifactorial, involving the cancer itself, treatment side effects, and secondary factors like anemia or poor sleep.
