Σύνοψη	The Cancer Fatigue Scale is a 15-item disease-specific self-report instrument that comprehensively assesses three dimensions of cancer-related fatigue: physical, cognitive, and emotional. Developed by Takuo Okuyama and colleagues at the Japanese Foundation for Cancer Research and published in 2000, the CFS provides a brief yet multidimensional fatigue profile suitable for both clinical practice and research, with particular strength in non-English-speaking populations where it has been extensively validated.	The Edmonton Symptom Assessment System is a rapid, validated 9-item tool that assesses the severity of common symptoms in cancer and palliative care patients: pain, tiredness, nausea, depression, anxiety, drowsiness, appetite loss, general well-being, and shortness of breath. Developed by Bruera and colleagues at the University of Alberta in 1991, the ESAS has become the standard symptom-screening instrument in oncology clinics, palliative care units, and end-of-life care settings worldwide, enabling efficient symptom prioritization and management escalation.
