Implication

Guideline adaptation reports efficacy of physical activity and psychosocial interventions against fatigue in adult cancer survivors, highlighting the value of nonpharmacologic care.

Key Points

Cancer-related fatigue improves following nonpharmacologic care, and clinical evaluation is recommended for all adult cancer survivors after completion of primary therapy.
Three clinical practice guidelines formed the consensus base, demonstrating that physical activity interventions and psychosocial interventions reduce survivor fatigue.
A systematic search of clinical practice guideline databases was conducted, identifying three high-quality source guidelines for adaptation to guide survivor screening.
Highlights the clinical value of tailored nonpharmacologic treatments, while evidence remains limited for prescribing psychostimulants to disease-free cancer survivors.
