What causes fatigue during radiation treatment in men with prostate cancer?
The National Institute of Nursing Research at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Clinical Center seeks men with prostate cancer to join a research study about the causes of fatigue during radiation treatment. Researchers also want to learn if exercise can help reduce this type of fatigue. The study involves at least 10 outpatient visits to the NIH Clinical Center (two hours for each visit). Participants will have the option to complete an 8-week treadmill exercise program as part of the study.
