| Article/Chapter Title: | Neuropsychological impact of cancer and cancer treatments |
| Abstract: | (from the chapter) Increasing research has focused on cognitive changes associated with cancer and cancer treatments. Although cognitive problems associated with cancer of the central nervous system (CNS) have been recognized for many years, more recent research has been focused on cognitive side effects of non-CNS tumors. The current chapter will review the most studied examples of each type: brain tumors and early stage breast cancer. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2011 APA, all rights reserved). |
