Epidemiology of cancer‐related fatigue in the Swedish twin registry

Estimates of the prevalence of cancer‐related fatigue (CRF) are wide, and data suggest that fatigue is more prevalent among cancer patients than among the general population. However, most studies examining the prevalence of CRF have been hospital‐based or clinic‐based studies, which often are subject to bias.
