Abstract:
For cognitive dysfunction, standards of care are based on established evidence-based practice. Cognitive dysfunction is the decline in function in one or more cognitive domains, including attention and concentration, executive function, information processing speed, language, visuospatial skill, psychomotor ability, and/or learning and memory. Cognitive dysfunction occurs in 80% of patients with brain tumors, 40% of patients with acute myeloid leukemia, and as many as 75% of patients with breast cancer.
