(A) Fast Fact and Concept 173: Cancer Related Fatigue
(B) New Editor of Fast Facts Announced
Effective January 07 I am turning over the leadership of Fast Facts to my colleague Drew Rosielle, MD. Drew has been working with me behind the scenes for the past year as an unofficial assistant FF editor and I feel he is an ideal person to continue the FF project.
Drew joined the MCW palliative care faculty in July 2006 after completing his fellowship. His primary academic interest is in Evidence-Based Medicine applications to Palliative Care. He currently serves as the PC-FACS assistant editor for CME.
Drew runs a terrific blog that offers a source of up-to-date clinical research information
