Re: Kemoaivot

Niinpä. Monikaan ei tiedä tai ole kuullut.

"The word "chemo brain" was actually coined by patients who reported cognitive difficulties after undergoing chemotherapy. However, some cognitive changes experienced by cancer patients may not be caused by chemotherapy and may be due to other cancer therapies, such as hormonal therapies, and to cancer itself.

Chemo brain, or treatment-related cognitive dysfunction, limits cancer patients' professional, social, and family lives and leads to increased financial burden, mood disturbance, and reduced quality of life. As our population ages, cancer diagnoses will increase, and so will neurodegenerative disorders that affect cognitive function. At the same time, advances in cancer treatment are producing a growing number of cancer survivors. Taken together, these factors suggest that cognitive dysfunction will become increasingly common, and neuropsychological services will be required for many cancer patients."
