Brief Summary

Fatigue is common in cancer patients receiving adjuvant chemotherapy. To further understand the mechanism of fatigue and search for potential biomarkers, we will conduct a prospective study with breast cancer patients receiving adjuvant chemotherapy.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Potential biomarkers related to chemotherapy induced fatigue

    This study examines potential biomarkers of fatigue induced by chemotherapy both in the plasma and mononuclear fraction of the peripheral blood of patients with breast cancer

    21 days after the start of chemotherapy

Study Arms (2)

Control: patients without fatigue

Patients whose scores on the brief fatigue inventory (BFI) (15) won't increase after having received the first cycle of chemotherapy will be considered as controls

Patients with fatighe

Patients whose scores on the brief fatigue inventory (BFI) (15) increase after having received the first cycle of chemotherapy will be considered as having manifested fatigue
