Cancer-Related Fatigue: A Quiet & Lingering Thief of Function

Course overview

Research shows that nearly all cancer survivors experience a type of fatigue that does not easily resolve, is chronic in nature, and negatively impacts their physical and cognitive tolerance for activities. This fatigue is referred to as cancer-related fatigue (CRF). Left untreated, CRF may lead to depression, permanent decrease in physical and/or cognitive abilities, and an overall lower quality of life. In this course Dr. Suzanne Taylor provides detailed information on CRF including the understood causes, the known impacts, assessment, and recommended treatment interventions.
