TL;DR: The CES-D was established as a valid and reliable measure of depressive symptomatology in this sample of breast cancer patients and may be appropriate for use in clinical psychosocial research with cancer patients, yet further research is needed to evaluate its usefulness in other cancer populations.

TL;DR: The FSI was established as a valid and reliable measure of fatigue in cancer patients and healthy individuals and Suggestions are made for the potential application of the measure in clinical research.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the characteristics, course, and correlates of fatigue in women receiving adjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer and found that more severe fatigue before treatment was associated with poorer performance status and the presence of fatigue-related symptoms (e.g., sleep problems and muscle weakness).

TL;DR: The MFSI appears to be a valid and reliable tool to assess the full spectrum of symptoms that characterize the construct of fatigue, and may be useful during the course of cancer treatment.

TL;DR: It appears from data that cancer diagnosis in adults may have a positive influence on smoking and diet and a negative influence on exercise.
