While fatigue is often seen as a hallmark of modern life, the exhaustion experienced by cancer patients is profoundly different. It is not just a symptom but the most frequently reported one, often underestimated in treatment plans.

This challenge served as the basis for a 2024 doctoral research project in Sports and Physical Activity Sciences (STAPS), focusing on the management of cancer-related fatigue.
