La fatigue est un symptôme important chez les patients cancéreux en phase avancée. L'étude est une évaluation de l'efficacité d'un psychostimulant : le méthylphenidate, contre ces états d'asthénie relevant de différentes causes. Elle montre les résultats et les effets de cette thérapeutique sur 16 patients ; l'estimation est effectuée à partir de l'échelle visuelle analogique. Un tableau récapitule les caractéristiques cliniques et démographiques des participants, ainsi que leurs réactions au traitement contre la fatigue. La discussion pose des hypothèses sur les mécanismes possibles d'action du méthylphenidate.
