Official title
Beta-Endorphin as a Mediator of Cancer Therapy-Induced Fatigue
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The investigators aim to test whether beta-endorphin, a substance our bodies make in response to painful and stressful stimuli, plays a causative role in radiation-induced fatigue that cancer patients receiving radiation therapy commonly experience. If this is so, the investigators' hope is to direct efforts at treating radiation-induced fatigue using agents that block the action of beta-endorphin with the aim of improving quality of life for patients undergoing radiation therapy
