Project Study: Pilot Human Study Specific Aims: 1. describe levels of mitochondrial respiratory enzymes 2. examine relationships between levels of mitochondrial enzymes, fatigue, and health-related quality of life; and 3. compare levels of mitochondrial enzymes in men with a clinically-significant change in fatigue from those with no change in fatigue. Significance of Study: Cancer related fatigue is a common side effect of cancer. Cancer related fatigue is poorly understood. Many different biological mechanisms have been theorized, including mitochondrial dysfunction. Self-reported descriptions of reduced energy and muscle weakness lend support for a possible relationship of cancer related fatigue to mitochondrial dysfunction. Main Research Variables: Mitochondrial Enzymes, Cancer related fatigue, and health related quality of life Design: Descriptive, longitudinal study Sample/Setting: Men with non-metastatic prostate-cancer who are scheduled to receive radiation therapy Methods: Questionnaires, mouth swabs and blood will be collected at four study visits: prior to treatment, midpoint of treatment, completion of treatment and within 90 days of finishing treatment. Four mouth swabs will be collected per participant at each study visit. Implications for Practice: Understanding the role of mitochondrial enzymes in cancer related fatigue has major clinical implications in the development of targeted interventions and in providing specific knowledge for patients and their families to make informed treatment decisions.
