Why is Cognitive Rehabilitation Important for Cancer Patients?
Cancer and its treatments, such as chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery, can lead to cognitive impairments often referred to as "chemo brain" or "cancer-related cognitive impairment" (CRCI). These impairments can affect memory, attention, executive functions, and processing speed, significantly impacting the quality of life. Cognitive rehabilitation aims to mitigate these effects and help patients regain their cognitive abilities.
