AB  - Cancer-related fatigue is one of the most frequent and debilitating sequelae of cancer and its treatment. Clinical practice guidelines for cancer-related fatigue recommend education and counseling for all cancer patients, regular fatigue screening, and comprehensive (differential) diagnostics. Non-pharmacologic interventions such as exercise and psychosocial interventions are primarily recommended for treating fatigue. However, due to structural barriers, guideline recommendations are insufficiently implemented in clinical practice. Thus, to ensure adequate fatigue management, structural changes like the establishment of nationwide care structures should be discussed. In a first step, it is important to improve patients’ knowledge about fatigue. Therefore, interdisciplinary trainings for medical staff are required. In addition to healthcare professionals educating patients about fatigue, they might hand out fatigue information booklets and refer to appropriate eHealth/mHealth tools.
