Although advancements of science and technology have resulted in more and more patients being able to receive effective treatment, they still face side effects such as fatigue and weakness. It is important to thoroughly investigate the factors that contribute to cancer-related fatigue (CRF) during chemotherapy.\u0000 AIM\u0000 To explore the factors related to CRF, anxiety, depression, and mindfulness levels in patients with DLBCL during chemotherapy.\u0000 METHODS\u0000 General information was collected from the electronic medical records of eligible patients.
