Trial Notes:
The purpose of this study is to assess the influence of Sunitinib and Sorafenib on fatigue, quality of life and depression in patients with metastatic renal cell or colorectal cancer or GIST. In order to get more insight in the mechanism of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) related fatigue and if possible to come to a resolution for this side effect.

During the study three questionnaires must repeatedly be completed in by the patients: the BDI (PC) a depression scale, the EORTC-QLQ a quality of life assessment and the CIS20r, a fatigue scale and patients must fill in their medication on a list.
