Asthenia is a clinical syndrome that nearly any somatic and neurological pathologies can manifest with. Being is essence a defense mechanism that signals the depletion of energy resources, asthenia can become a pathological, extremely disabling condition, and even transform into a nosology of its own - the chronic fatigue syndrome, an immune-mediated disease. Besides, asthenia is often combined with affective and cognitive disorders, which facilitates difficulties in the establishing of the primary diagnosis. In this article we examine the complicated weave of asthenia, chronic fatigue syndrome, cognitive, and affective disorders.

The National Cancer Institute (Canada) sponsored a workshop on symptom control in Banff, Alberta, in October 1993. This article reports on the workshop recommendations for research on one symptom complex, the cachexia-anorexia-asthenia syndrome. In addition to encouraging study generation, the recommendations provide a baseline for assessing the scope and strength of future Canadian research initiatives on cachexia-anorexia-asthenia.

Review
Over the past 10 years, there have been major advances in the understanding of cancer cachexia and asthenia. These common complications of cancer are now thought to be the consequences of complex interactions between host, tumour, and psychosocial factors. Cachexia and asthenia commonly coexist, but they can occur independently of each other. Recently identified tumour-derived factors cause lipolysis and protein catabolism. Cytokines produced by the host in response to tumour presence cause metabolic abnormalities, which result in decreased protein and lipid synthesis, increased lipolysis, and anorexia. Many other factors contribute to asthenia, such as anaemia, autonomic failure, and muscular abnormalities. Future research should clarify optimum management. The way forward seems to lie in a multidimensional approach with combined therapy to manage both cancer cachexia and asthenia.

Review
Fatigue is one of the most common complaints of people with cancer. In this setting, fatigue is to be defined as a chronic form of tiredness, which is perceived by the patient as being unusual or abnormal, and absolutely disproportionate with respect to the amount of exercise or activity he/she has carried out and which is not removed by resting or sleeping. It affects the majority of patients actively undergoing cancer related therapies, but also a meaningful number of those who successfully completed therapy and are disease-free and potentially cured at the end of the treatments. The exact cause of fatigue is not known. There is no standard of care for the assessment or treatment of fatigue in patients with cancer. The evaluation of fatigue is intrinsically multidimensional, and a number of methods have been developed to assess it. Treatment of fatigue should depend on its cause, but presently it is still addressed against the associated symptoms rather than fatigue itself. In this article some of the crucial issues related to fatigue in people with cancer are reviewed.
