There is limited research focused on patient reported fatigue symptom experiences in adults receiving treatment for acute leukemia. The purpose of this study was to prospectively examine fatigue in newly diagnosed adults with acute leukemia receiving induction chemotherapy.

Adults over 50 with acute leukemia experienced greater fatigue during hospitalization than those |
