Introduction: Fatigue experienced by cancer patients is one of the most common symptoms with the greatest adverse effect on quality of life, but arguably the least understood. The purpose of this study was to explore changes in integrated mitochondrial function and fatigue in non-metastatic prostate cancer patients receiving localized radiation therapy (XRT).Materials and methods: We proposed a mitochondria' bioenergetics mechanism of radiation-induced fatigue linking impaired oxidative phosphorylation (OXPIIOS) through complex III and decreased adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production as consequences of XRT. Integrated mitochondria' function was measured as mitochondria' OXPHOS from patients' peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Fatigue was measured using the revised Piper Fatigue Scale. Data were collected before (day 0) and at day 21 of XRT.Results: At day 21 of XRT, fatigue symptom intensified in 15 prostate cancer patients (P
