Figures & data

Table I. Demographic and clinical characteristics at baseline of the IMRT sample (N = 64) and the RAD sample (N = 142) that completed questionnaires at 36 months.

Table II. Mean function and bother scores of IMRT + RAD and RAD patients at baseline, 12-, 24-, and 36-months follow-up.

Figure 1. (A) Proportion of cases with chronic fatigue in the IMRT and RAD groups at various time points. There are no significant groups differences. All prevalences except IMRT at baseline are significantly larger than normative prevalence (16.8%). (B). Mean mental fatigue scores in the RAD groups at various time points. There are no significant between-group differences. (C). Mean physical fatigue scores in the IMRT and RAD groups at various time points. There are no significant between-groups differences. (D). Mean total fatigue scores in the IMRT and RAD groups at various time points. There are no significant between-groups differences.
