Genes of cancer-related fatigue: a scoping review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cancer-related fatigue (CRF) is a prevalent adverse effect experienced by cancer patients while receiving and after treatment, impacting as many as 90% of individuals. Although CRF is common, the genetic processes responsible for it and their influence on individual vulnerability are not well understood and are still being investigated.

Objective

The primary objective of this scoping review is to identify and assess genes linked to the vulnerability and severity of CRF. This will help us better understand the genetic factors involved and assist in developing targeted nursing treatments in clinical settings.

Methods

This review followed the PRISMA guidelines. A comprehensive search was performed in databases, such as PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, Cochrane
