To date, most studies focused on fatigue during or after treatment.

Patient\u2010reported outcomes were assessed with the EORTC QLQ\u2010FA12 for fatigue, the EORTC QLQ\u2010C30 for functioning, the STAI for anxiety, the CESD\u2010R for depression and the PSQI for sleep disturbance. Descriptive analyses and logistic regression models were performed using baseline data before start of cancer treatment. The thresholds of clinical importance (TCI) were applied to test for clinically relevant fatigue.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Compared to the healthy participants, patients scored significantly higher in physical, emotional, and total fatigue, in depression, in global health status and in all functioning scales except cognitive function (all\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.01). 48.7% of all patients reported clinically relevant fatigue. Being younger, being obese, having low education, or low social support was associated with a higher likelihood of clinically relevant fatigue before treatment. Higher depression and anxiety scores, poorer sleep quality and global health status, and impaired functioning seemed to get along with an increased likelihood of scoring above the TCI of fatigue (all\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our study results suggest that fatigue screening, patient\u2010centered fatigue education and psychosocial support may be needed already from the time of cancer diagnosis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/cam4.70404","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,9]],"date-time":"2025-01-09T04:09:46Z","timestamp":1736395786000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Pretreatment Fatigue in Breast Cancer Patients: Comparison With Healthy Controls and Associations With\u00a0Biopsychosocial Variables"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9260-5610","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Patricia","family":"Blickle","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Physical Activity, Prevention and Cancer German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ)  Heidelberg Germany"},{"name":"Division of Physical Activity, Prevention and Cancer, National Center for Tumor Diseases (NCT) Heidelberg, a Partnership Between DKFZ and University Medical Center  Heidelberg Germany"},{"name":"Medical Faculty University of Heidelberg  Heidelberg Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2095-2426","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Martina E.","family":"Schmidt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Physical Activity, Prevention and Cancer German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ)  Heidelberg Germany"},{"name":"Division of Physical Activity, Prevention and Cancer, National Center for Tumor Diseases (NCT) Heidelberg, a Partnership Between DKFZ and University Medical Center  Heidelberg Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5215-5651","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Karen","family":"Steindorf","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Physical Activity, Prevention and Cancer German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ)  Heidelberg Germany"},{"name":"Division of Physical Activity, Prevention and Cancer, National Center for Tumor Diseases (NCT) Heidelberg, a Partnership Between DKFZ and University Medical Center  Heidelberg Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_10_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.6004\/jnccn.2015.0122"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1471-2458-14-S3-S8"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/nrclinonc.2014.127"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jpainsymman.2012.02.009"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11764-021-01115-6"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ijc.34152"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jpainsymman.2020.07.037"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1634\/theoncologist.12-S1-4"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/sj.bjc.6604739"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1359105313477675"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1200\/JCO.2011.34.6148"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/cncr.31827"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ijc.34640"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00520-010-0986-7"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0885-3924(99)00082-2"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jpsychores.2020.110127"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_18_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00520-019-4660-4"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_19_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/cancers15245879"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_20_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/jnci\/djw273"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_21_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/014662167700100306"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_22_1","first-page":"363","article-title":"Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale: Review and Revision (CESD and CESD\u2010R)","volume":"3","author":"Eaton W.
