AB  - 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
