Computerized cognitive training improves cognitive function in primary breast cancer survivors.

ABSTRACT: Cancer-related cognitive impairment has a significant impact on the quality of life and perceived cognitive ability of breast cancer patients and frequently affects attention, working memory, and executive function. Several interventional approaches to treat these deficits have been studied, including web-based cognitive training, but methods and timing in relation to cancer treatment are heterogeneous. Only few interventions start early after primary breast cancer treatment, a time when many patients report the greatest impairments in quality of life and cognition. In this randomized controlled pilot study, 31 breast cancer survivors with subjective cognitive deficits and a mean post-treatment duration of 6.6 months (SD = 9.3) were assigned to either 14 weeks of a web-based cognitive trai
