Abstract

Cancer-related fatigue (CRF) is commonly experienced by women with breast cancer. Biological underpinnings of CRF are poorly understood. Inflammatory responses including oxidative stress and DNA repair mechanisms could influence CRF. This study suggests genetic risk models may identify risk for CRF occurrence and severity in women with breast cancer.

Genetic Variation of DNA Repair and Oxidative Stress Genes Associated With Breast Cancer-Related Fatigue Pre-Treatment

Inflammatory responses including oxidative stress and DNA repair mechanisms could influence CRF.
