“…CRF can be hard to treat. Current CRF treatments such as pharmacological treatments [8], exercise [9], or psychosocial [10] interventions yield small to moderate effect sizes in meta-analyses. A possible explanation for this limited treatment effect could be that the concept of CRF is not optimally delineated, and treatments are not targeted to patients' specific fatigue experiences.…”

Purpose Little research has been done to identify possible cancer-related fatigue (CRF) subtypes and to classify cancer survivors accordingly. We aimed to identify CRF subtypes in a large population-based sample of (long term) stage I-III colorectal cancer survivors. We also identified factors associated with the CRF subtypes. Methods Respondents completed the Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory and other validated questionnaires on anxiety and reduced positive affect (anhedonia), sleep quality, and lifestyle factors (body mass index and physical activity). Latent class analysis was used to derive the CRF subtypes.Factors associated with the derived CRF subtypes were determined with multinomial logistic regression. Results Three CRF classes were identified: class 1 (no fatigue and distress, n = 644, 56%), class 2 (low fatigue, moderate distress, n = 256, 22%), and class 3 (high fatigue, moderate distress, n = 256, 22%). Multinomial logistic regression results show that survivors in class 3 were more likely to be female, were treated with radiotherapy, have comorbid diabetes mellitus, and be overweight/obese than survivors in class 1 (reference). Survivors in classes 2 and 3 were also more likely to have comorbid heart condition, report poorer sleep quality, experience anhedonia, and report more anxiety symptoms when compared with survivors in class 1. Conclusions Three distinct classes of CRF were identified which could be differentiated with sleep quality, anxiety, anhedonia, and lifestyle factors. Implications for cancer survivors The identification of CRF subtypes with distinct characteristics suggests that interventions should be targeted to the CRF subtype.

“…Cramp & Byron 13 en una revisión sistemática encontraron que el ejercicio físico produjo mejoras significativas en la fatiga de pacientes con cáncer durante y después del tratamiento activo; aunque los autores no realizaron estimaciones del efecto de las modalidades de ejercicio estudiadas. Recientemente, Lin et al 14 demostraron que 12 semanas de ejercicio físico mejoraron los niveles de fatiga, la calidad de vida, la fuerza muscular y el fitness cardiorrespiratorio en pacientes con cáncer colorrectal durante la quimioterapia.…”
