Abstract
Alleviating fatigue of a patient with advanced cancer often meets troubles, for which medication is restricted. We experienced two cases with cancer-related fatigue, in which 4,000mg of taurine a day was administered orally and the improvement of the Cancer Fatigue Scale (CFS) score was identified as a result. There hasn't been any literature reporting the effect of taurine to cancer-related fatigue yet. However, taurine has been known as a medicine with various effects for quite a long time, and it is possible that it will be recognized as one of the medicines effective for cancer-related fatigue.
