Abstract Fatigue is a common symptom of cancer patients, which can impair quality of life even years after treatment. Little is known about genetic determinants of fatigue, especially in prostate cancer (PCa). This study aims to identify SNPs associated with long-term fatigue in a prospective cohort of PCa patients. A genome-wide association study was conducted in non-metastatic PCa patients treated with radiotherapy in 7 European countries and the USA.
