Purpose Aim of the study was to provide information about the prevalence of cancer related fatigue and the association between treatment-related factors and fatigue in cancer patients during the rehabilitation care. Patients and Methods In a multicenter study 693 cancer patients (27 % breast cancer, 17 % prostate cancer etc.) completed the Multidimensio-nal Fatigue Inventory (MFI-20) and sociodemographic and treatment information was noted. Results 51 % of the patients suffer from fatigue (n = 356). Fatigue prevalence differed according to tumour localization (p = 0.001). There was a substantial association between fatigue and treatment condition in terms of the combination of surgery and radiation (p = 0.05). Conclusion Fatigue was high prevalent in patients in the rehabilitation care. Thus, fatigue should be routinely screened and after differentiated diagnostics be considered in rehabilitation care plans.
