Cancer-related fatigue(CRF)is common across various stages of malignancy,especially in patients undergoing anti-cancer treatments or those with advanced cancer.CRF severely impacts the patient's quality of life and can even interrupt the treatment process,shortening survival time.Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)primarily uses toni-fying therapies to treat CRF,with good clinical efficacy.The occurrence of CRF is closely related to factors such as cancer toxins,external pathogenic factors,and emotional imbalances.Clinically,CRF often presents as excess syndromes.This arti-cle discussed the common excess syndromes seen in CRF,including liver depression and qi stagnation,heat toxin and blood stasis,and phlegm-dampness accumulation,and reminded clinicians that,in addition to tonifying the deficiency,the treat-ment of CRF should not neglect methods such as soothing the liver and resolving stagnation,activating blood and resolving blood stasis,and promoting qi and transforming phlegm to address the excess syndromes.
