Abstract: Background: As survival rates increase, the care of physical and psychological consequences of cancer and cancer therapies is becoming increasingly urgent. Even if cancer-related fatigue (CRF) is one of the most common sequelae, it has so far been inadequately treated. Objectives: To record the impairments experienced by patients due to CRF in Germany and to reflect the perspectives of various specialist groups on this. Materials and methods: Within the large-scaled LIFT (Longitudinal Investigation of Cancer-related Fatigue and its Treatment) project, we conducted surveys among patients (N = 1179), as well as among physicians (N = 148), nurses (N = 184), and psycho-oncologists (N = 144). Among others, participants were asked to describe health-related quality of life in terms of CRF. Data were analyzed descriptively. Results: Among patients, there was a significant negative association between the perceived quality of life and CRF severity (r = -0.556, p < 0.001). More than half of the physicians (65.5%), nurses (70.7%), and psycho-oncologists (64.6%) estimated the impact of CRF on quality of life to be very high, but generally estimated by professionals to be slightly less than the impact of pain on quality of life. Conclusion: Physicians, nurses, and psycho-oncologists appeared to be aware of the influence of CRF on the quality of life of patients. However, CRF-management programs are needed across the board in Germany.
