Cancer Symptom Clusters: Old Concept But New Data -- American Journal of Hospice and Palliative Medicine

Note: there are other blog postings regarding symptom clusters (ie; certain symptoms go together eg depression, fatigue etc...) "Symptom clusters may help in cancer diagnosis, symptom management, and prognostication. However, the cluster method, reliability, and validity need to be established before assessment or treatment guidelines are established. Symptom clusters require further research before becoming part of routine medical symptom assessment and management."
