Abstract:
Health literacy is essential in cancer care. Low health literacy compromises the capacity to maintain one's health through self-management and collaboration with healthcare providers, especially when facing cognitive side effects related to cancer and its treatments. Cancer-related cognitive impairment (CRCI) is a common phenomenon among cancer patients and might determine a significant impact on their quality of life, yet it is still under identified by both clinicians and patients. This perspective aims to discuss the implications of patients' and healthcare professionals' lack of awareness on the matter and argues about the importance of improving the level of information on CRCI to mitigate difficulties in identifying and managing such manifestations on various levels.
