An Interdisciplinary Challenge: Responsibilities in German Cancer-related Fatigue Management from the Professional and Patient Perspective.

Objectives: Due to its complexity, the management of cancer-related fatigue (CRF) is best based on an inter-disciplinary care approach. Thus, we examined the preferred and the actual distribution of responsibilities from the perspectives of healthcare professionals and patients.

Materials And Methods: An online survey was conducted among physicians (N =148), nurses (N =184), and psycho-oncologists (N =144) in Germany.

Comprehensive resolution and classification of the Epstein Barr virus transcriptome.

Virus genomes harbor compacted repertoires of genes and regulatory elements. Through long-read sequencing, we provide a comprehensive Epstein Barr virus (EBV) transcriptome analysis, identifying 1453 transcript isoforms and resolving the major isoform of all but one lytic reading frame. Further, we categorize each transcript according to their dependence on viral DNA replication.

[Cancer-related fatigue: How (good) is the quality of care at cancer care facilities in Germany?].

Background: One of the most common sequelae of cancer and/or its treatment is cancer-related fatigue (CRF). For those affected, CRF is often accompanied by considerable, even long-term impairment. This makes it all the more important to examine how care is provided in Germany and to what extent guideline recommendations are implemented in clinical practice.
