Background: Cervical and breast cancers are the two top leading cases of female cancer in Indonesia. Nowadays, many survivors with various degree of cancer-related fatigue (CRF) were found in the community context. This study aimed to compare and analyse the differences of CRF intensity in cervical cancer survivors (CCS) and breast cancer survivors (BCS) generally, and in each stage of cancer survivorship, specifically.Methods: This cross-sectional study involved 47 CCS and 55 BCS in the district of Rangkah, Gading, and Pacar Keling, Surabaya, Indonesia (n=102). Instrument of Fatigue Symptom Inventory (FSI) was used for data collection. Descriptive statistic, independent sample t-test, and one way ANOVA test were used for data analysis (α<.05).Results: Most respondents were short term survivors (43.14%) with mild CRF (66.67%) in both cases. Higher intensity of CRF was found in CCS compared to BCS. Worst CRF was found more in acute and short term survivorship in BCS compared to more in long term survivorship in CCS. There was no significant difference of CRF found between CCS and BCS (p=.63), and CRF was not significantly different between each stage of cancer survivorship in both cases (p=.883 and p=.117 for CCS and BCS respectively), but CRF intensity in the worst and lightest time possible was significantly different between CCS and BCS (p=.000).Conclusions: There was no significant difference of CRF between cases and stages of survivorship in CCS and BCS, but CRF intensity in the worst and lightest time possible was significantly different between those groups.

Objective cancer-related fatigue(CRF) is the most commonly reported and most distressing symptom in cancer patient.The purpose of this study was to review the effect of exercise intervention on cancer-related fatigue in breast cancer survivors. Methods From 1998 to 2018 in Chinese and English literature of Wanfang Database, Pubmed, SportDiscus and Springer databases, picked out the randomized controlled trials which up to standard. Keywords cancer, exercise, fatigue, etc. were used for systematic search and tracking. 12 experiments were reviewed to analyze the effect differences between exercise intervention and exercise-related fatigue. Results Most interventions use aerobic exercise as the primary form of exercise. Generally, exercise interventions are effective for cancer-related fatigue, but some findings are not. Many studies have shown that moderate intensity aerobic exercise has a significant effect on cancer-related fatigue, with 50-70% heart rate reserve and 3-5 times of exercise per week for at least 30 minutes each time. Exercise methods mainly include walking, yoga, cycling and tai chi. Firstly, Supervised aerobic exercise was statistically more effective than conventional care in improving CRF among breast cancer survivors. It has been shown that group-based, supervised exercise produces positive psychosocial‘side-effects’ due to social interactions, improved self-efficacy, and attention from a trainer. Secondly, Cancer fatigue is divided into acute and chronic fatigue, 18 weeks of exercise intervention can reduce the short-term fatigue, at 36 weeks, baseline levels of fatigue index responses and contrast on the issue of the multivariate statistics. Thirdly, usual-care group were reported that they had been actively engaged in regular exercise before study enrollment. During the exercise intervention, most studies on the control ways are according to the daily life or to take care of, but studies have reported, before intervention, to a high level of 40% in the control group often exercise, exercise also as usual during the intervention, which causes the control to the baseline level is higher, but the intervention group and control group will be difference, no significant difference, lead to the result is invalid. Conclusions First, the exercise intervention of cancer-related fatigue needs to be supervised; second, the exercise intervention is effective for short-term cancer-related fatigue; third, the daily exercise level of the control group will affect the intervention effect.
