Cancer-related fatigue in Chinese patients with cancer
Official title: Epidemiology and Prognostic Analysis of Chinese Cancer Patients With Cancer-related Fatigue
Run by Fudan University · NCT07656324 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This OBSERVATIONAL study tests how often and how severely fatigue occurs in adults with cancer and looks at factors that influence it and how fatigue relates to treatment and outcomes.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults (18+) with histologically or cytologically confirmed malignant tumors who can provide informed consent.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with very advanced disease or conditions not related to fatigue may not experience clear benefits from this observational study.

What this trial studies
The study collects patient questionnaires alongside medical records and follow-up information to measure cancer-related fatigue and its severity using standardized tools. It analyzes variables such as tumor type, treatment regimen, disease stage, treatment effectiveness, side effects, and concomitant medications to identify factors associated with fatigue. It also explores how fatigue may affect anti-tumor treatment decisions and prognosis. Data from imaging, lab results, and follow-up visits help assess the relationship between fatigue levels and patient outcomes. No interventions are performed; this study observes real-world experiences.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, findings could inform better management of fatigue in cancer patients and guide clinicians in tailoring treatment plans.
How similar studies have gone: Other observational work has shown cancer-related fatigue is common and linked to quality of life and treatment tolerance, supporting the relevance of similar analyses.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Male or female, aged 18 years or older. 2. Able to understand the purpose of this survey study, willing to participate, and able to sign an informed consent form. 3. Malignant tumor confirmed histologically or cytologically. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Pregnant or breastfeeding women. 2. Patients with acute or chronic infections, or those with other serious medical conditions that, in the investigator's judgment, make them unsuitable for this study. 3. Patients with two or more concurrent malignant tumors (excluding the following: cured basal cell carcinoma of the skin, carcinoma in situ of the cervix, and papillary thyroid carcinoma). 4. Patients with psychiatric illness or mental disorders, poor compliance, or who are unable to cooperate and report treatment responses. 5. Patients with severe organic disease or major organ failure, such as decompensated heart, lung, liver, or kidney failure. 6. Patients with other conditions that, in the investigator's opinion, make them unsuitable for participation in this study.
