Does persistent fatigue in survivors relate to cancer?
Menée en Allemagne auprès de 5 306 patients atteints d'un lymphome de Hodgkin de stade précoce, de stade précoce défavorable ou de stade avancé et inclus dans 3 essais, cette étude longitudinale analyse l'évolution de leur fatigue liée à la maladie, du diagnostic jusqu'à 5 ans après la fin des traitements
80–90% of patients with Hodgkin's lymphoma are cured of their disease, and the ratio of long-term survivors to annual incidence cases has reached almost 20:1 in high-income countries. Three-quarters of new cases are diagnosed before the age of 60 years, and most, if not all, survivors return to normal life, including personal, social, and professional activities. Treatment-related complications first gained attention in the early 1970s with findings of the growth of second cancers followed by a large number of reports as soon as quantification was available on various side-effects.
