The effect of non-pharmacological interventions on cognitive function in cancer: an overview of systematic reviews.

ABSTRACT:

A significant number of cancer survivors experience cancer-related cognitive impairment (CRCI), which can impact their ability to think, reason, make decisions, and perform daily actions.
