Abstract
Both colorectal and pancreatic cancer patients suffer from gastrointestinal associated symptoms that cause nutrition insufficiency. Under impaired nutritional status, cancer patients are prone to experience fatigue. However, there is currently no study that compares fatigue status between colorectal cancer and pancreatic cancer patients. Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare the perceived fatigue among patients with colorectal cancer and pancreatic cancer; and to explore the associated factors among demographic and clinical characteristics, functional lower extremity strength, and grip strength for fatigue in overall patients.

A comparison of fatigue among resectable colorectal and pancreatic cancer patients
Dublin, Ireland
Both colorectal and pancreatic cancer patients suffer from gastrointestinal associated symptoms that cause nutrition insufficiency. Under impaired nutritional status, cancer patients are prone to experience fatigue. However, there is currently no study that compares fatigue status between colorectal cancer and pancreatic cancer patients. Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare the perceived fatigue among patients with colorectal cancer and pancreatic cancer; and to explore the associated factors among demographic and clinical characteristics, functional lower extremity strength, and grip strength for fatigue in overall patients.
