Factors associated with fatigue in prostate cancer (PC) patients undergoing external beam radiation therapy (EBRT)

ConclusionsWe identify factors associated with increased (young age, depressive symptoms, androgen deprivation therapy) and decreased (antiemetic prescription) fatigue in a large cohort of PC patients receiving EBRT. Continued investigation is needed to further elucidate clinical drivers and biological underpinnings of increased fatigue to guide potential interventions.
