Cancer and its associated treatment cause debilitating symptom clusters including sickness, nausea, fatigue, pain, distractibility and poor memory. The authors of this Review describe what is known about the mechanisms of the behavioural comorbidities experienced by cancer patients, discuss how cancer-related symptoms develop, and what can be done at the clinical and preclinical levels to better understand their mechanisms and identify appropriate treatments.
