Biological response modifiers (BRMs) can cause cognitive dysfunction, a significant issue with poorly understood mechanisms. Early identification and anticipatory care are crucial for managing these effects in patients.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Immunology
  • Neuroscience

Background:

  • Biological response modifiers (BRMs) are increasingly used in cancer therapy.
  • Cognitive dysfunction is a potential adverse effect associated with BRM administration.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current knowledge on cognitive dysfunction linked to BRMs.
  • To outline assessment strategies and nursing interventions for BRM-associated cognitive changes.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of published studies on cognitive dysfunction in patients receiving BRMs.
  • Inclusion of research based on clinical observation and pre/post-treatment cognitive/neurologic assessments.

Main Results:

  • BRM-associated cognitive dysfunction represents a significant clinical challenge.

  • The underlying mechanisms of this cognitive dysfunction remain poorly understood.
  • Clinical observation, cognitive and neurologic assessments, and interventions based on early symptoms are recommended.

    • Conclusions:

    • Further research is essential to elucidate the causes of BRM-induced cognitive dysfunction.
    • Development of standardized intervention protocols is needed.
    • Anticipatory nursing care, including early identification, patient safety, and sleep disturbance management, is vital.
