Evaluation of the Cognitive complaint after cancer treatment

Coordinator: M. Lange

Context: At the end of the cancer treatment period, some patients complain of memory or attention difficulties. These troubles may have a negative impact on patient quality of life and/or on back-to-work. Among studies specifically dealing with the evaluation of the cognitive complain of patients treated for a cancer, a large proportion concerns breast cancer patients, and for most, with a small sample of patients. Moreover, when the complaint is evaluated by a questionnaire, this last has not been systematically developed from the complaint of patients treated for a cancer.

Objective: To evaluate the cognitive complaint after cancer treatment (radiotherapy ± chemotherapy).

Study methodology: Online observational transversal study

Study status: Inclusions closed, N=1999 inclusions

Collaborations: Les Seintinelles Charity

Grant support: North-Ouest Canceropole
