BACKGROUND Cancers and cancer treatments produce multiple symptoms that collectively cause a symptom burden for patients. These symptoms include pain, wasting, fatigue, cognitive impairment, anxiety, and depression, many of which co-occur. There is growing recognition that at least some of these symptoms may share common biologic mechanisms. METHODS In November 2001, basic and clinical scientists met to consider evidence for a cytokine-immunologic model of symptom expression along with… CONTINUE READING
