Our objective was to determine the relationship between cancer-related fatigue (CRF), laboratory markers, and nutritional status among patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). A cross-sectional design was used. A sample of 80 participants diagnosed with CRC participated and completed the study's surveys including the patient-generated subjective global assessment (PG-SGA), cancer fatigue scale (CFS), laboratory markers sheet, and patient-related factors sheet. Positive relationships were identified between PG-SGA and CRF, physical fatigue, cognitive fatigue, WBC, and calcium level (r?=?0.781, 0.820, 0.751, 0.680, and 0.710; P?=?0.001 respectively). Negative relationships were found between PG-SGA and sodium, potassium, and hemoglobin levels (r = ?0.801, ?0.761, and ?0.810; P?=?0.001 respectively). The regression analysis revealed an R-2?=?0.610 (adjusted R-2?=?0.590), F (4.58, P?
