Chemotherapy - induced cognitive impairments
نویسندگان
چکیده
Adjuvant chemotherapy has increased the survival of patients with numerous cancers with more than 60% of cancer patients surviving more than five years after diagnosis [1]. As improvements in cancer treatments lead to longer survival times for many cancers, researchers have moved towards investigating and improving quality of life for survivors. It is estimated that there are 22 million cancer survivors worldwide [2], and ~650,000 in Australia or 3.3% of the population [1]. This rate increases to 9% of the population for persons over 50, and 14% of the population of persons over 65 [1].
