Fatigue-Syndrom

  • Chapter
Sport und körperliche Aktivität in der Onkologie

Zusammenfassung

Die im englischen Sprachraum gebräuchliche Bezeichnung „cancer related fatigue“ (CRF) ist weitaus zutreffender als die früher im deutschen Sprachraum genutzten Begriffe „Müdigkeit“ und „Erschöpfung“. Definitionsgemäß ist das allgemeine Fatigue-Syndrom von dem Krebs- bzw. dem Krebstherapie-assoziierten Fatigue-Syndrom abzugrenzen, wenngleich Parallelen zu physischer und mentaler Erschöpfungsausprägung zu erkennen sind. Die folgenden Ausführungen beziehen sich auf die krebsinduzierte Erschöpfung und werden daher mit der Abkürzung CRF benannt.
