Fatigue may be cause by all cancer treatments, maybe because the tissue damage or the build-up of dead cells derived products.

The Fatigue Severity Scale was used to assess the extent of fatigue in patients, in order to estimate the severity of the symptom with a score from 1 to 7. No side effects were found, and 35 patients (70%) achieved a significant improvement (> 50%) of the symptoms. CONCLUSIONS:
