Post-chemotherapy cognitive dysfunction in women with breast cancer

Abstract

Cancer-related cognitive dysfunction is an important clinical probem that can interfere with the daily functioning, work productivity, childcare, and other responsibilities of women with a history of breast cancer. Risks of cancer-related cognitive impairment include cancer and cancer treatment, as well as patient-related vulnerabilities. There is no established standard of neuroprotective care or treatment for breast cancer-related cognitive impairment.
