Cancer and cognition: from chemofog to cancer related cognitive disorders and cerebellar cognitive affective syndrome
At the end of the 1990s, women who survived breast cancer reported experiencing subjective cognitive difficulties commonly referred to as „chemofog.“ Formal neuropsychological testing has since revealed a range of objective cognitive deficits in some survivors who report these symptoms, including impaired memory, slower information processing, and alterations in executive function. These disorders, now termed cancer-related cognitive impairments, have also been observed in animal models following cancer treatments and, in some cases, resemble those seen in cerebellar cognitive affective syndrome.
