Prevalence and severity of long ‐term physical, emotional, and cognitive fatigue across 15 different cancer entities

ConclusionsPhysical, emotional, and cognitive fatigue is prevalent in all 15 investigated cancer entities even 2  years after diagnosis. Fatigue in breast cancer patients, the so‐far most studied group, is in the lowest range among all entities, suggesting that the extent of fatigue is still insufficiently determined. Entity‐specific problems might need to be considered in the treatment of fatigue.
