Cancer fatigue and its impact on patients: knowledge within the cancer care team.

Previous papers reported on the magnitude of fatigue as a problem for cancer patients and the growing recognition by patients, carers and health care professionals of the impact of cancer fatigue on quality of life. This paper presents findings from a United Kingdom survey of the knowledge of cancer fatigue and its impact on patients amongst cancer nurses, radiographers, haematologists and oncologists. We discuss how the context and chronology of care may influence differences in this knowledge between cancer care team members. Future directions for collaborative care, further research and interprofessional education are outlined.
