Chronic fatigue (CF) in breast cancer survivors (BCSs) has been associated with increased serum C-reactive protein-levels (CRP), pro-inflammatory cytokines and cytokine gene single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Still, there are few studies on these topics, and due to small study-cohorts the possibility to adjust for other conditions related to inflammatory processes, e.g. depression, has been limited. In 302...
