Current literature shows that there is a gap in our knowledge about how tired ness/fatigue in cancer patients should be defined and measured. Existing fa tigue-related research in cancer patients shows conceptual and measurement differences (Piper 1993). There is no continuum of tiredness/fatigue in univer sal use. What do patients mean if they fill in a visual analogue scale indicating that they feel "very tired"? Is it an indicator of general well-being, and thus an 1993)? Most articles estimate of general quality of life (Hiirny and Bernhard written by English authors use the word fatigue to identify extreme tired ness. It could be said that in the English language, tiredness that is perceived as unusual, continuing distress is fatigue rather than tiredness. In the German language, tiredness (Mudigkeit) is not primarily a term for distress attributed to disease or unusual effort. But tiredness becomes a distressing phenomenon when it no longer regulates a healthy balance between rest and activity but represents unusual, abnormal or excessive whole-body tiredness that is dis proportionate to or unrelated to activity or excessive exertion (Piper 1993). As there is no word for fatigue in the German language, the definition "extreme, unusual tiredness" (in German: extreme, unubliche Mudigkeit), is used to explain the term "fatigue:' This clarification is needed to ensure that future fatigue research conducted in German-speaking countries can be com pared with such research carried out elsewhere.

Fatigue in cancer patients has a major impact on decision making, on health-related quality of life and on numerous symptom scales. The clinician should know how to grade fatigue, recognise its main causes, and be able to design a therapeutic approach, whether to reduce the causes of fatigue or introduce specific measures to treat it. Specific grading tools have been defined and validated, and some knowledge of the complex mechanisms of fatigue has been acquired. This has led to the recognition of the incidence of fatigue in cancer patients and its impact on their lives, and to the definition of fatigue-orientated treatement strategies. School of Oncology (ESO), at which international experts shared their experiences, concerns and opinions. Their presentations are collected in this volume.
