Background Information Cancer is one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity worldwide[1]. The resultant morbidities of cancer and its treatment are manifold; common physiologic symptoms include pain, muscle weakness and fatigue, whereas common psychological symptoms include depression, anxiety and poor sense of well-being. As methods of cancer detection and treatment improve, survival is prolonged and the lifetime burden of these adverse effects increases[2]. Addressing these issues is critical towards maximizing quality of life, a multidimensional construct encompassing all physical and psychosocial factors[3].
