| Description: | peer reviewed ; Cancer-Related Cognitive Impairment (CRCI) is a consequence of cancer and its treatments, affecting a substantial proportion of the growing survivor population. CRCI encompasses deficits in cognitive functioning, with prevalence estimates ranging from 23% to 44%. Beyond its neurobiological underpinnings, CRCI carries clinical and psychosocial consequences. Cognitive difficulties co-occur with anxiety, depression, and fatigue, forming a cluster of "invisible" symptoms that profoundly disrupts survivors' daily functioning. Return to work is often delayed or compromised, and the erosion of cognitive abilities contributes to diminished quality of life, loss of occupational identity, and increased psychological distress. |
