      abstract     = {This study aimed to assess cancer patients' knowledge and
                      perceptions regarding fatigue and to provide up-to-date
                      information on the current fatigue management from the
                      patients' perspective.The FiX study recruited 2508 cancer
                      patients approximately 2 years after diagnosis via a cancer
                      registry in Germany. Participants completed a questionnaire
                      on their knowledge and perceptions of fatigue and the
                      management received.More than half of respondents $(58\%),$
                      especially among the elderly patients, did not feel well
                      informed about fatigue. Overall, $41\%$ reported having
                      never been asked about being exhausted by their treating
                      physician. Even fewer patients stated that general
                      practitioners or nurses have asked if they felt exhausted.
                      Only $13\%$ of patients who had experienced severe fatigue
                      had received a fatigue assessment by means of a rating scale
                      or questionnaire-although this is recommended by existing
                      guidelines for fatigue screening. Health care professionals
                      seemed less likely to address fatigue with elderly as well
                      as female patients. The most commonly reported measure
                      against fatigue was exercise or regular physical activity
                      $(68\%).$ However, this was mostly done on patients' own
                      initiative. Psychological support was rarely used $(13\%)$
                      and only in approximately half of the cases upon the advice
                      of a physician. Yoga, another promising intervention against
                      fatigue, was performed by only $9\%$ of patients.Our study
                      indicates deficits in terms of knowledge, education,
                      screening, counseling, and treatment for fatigue and
                      highlights starting points for targeted improvements in
                      fatigue management based on patients' needs.},
