A scoping review of cognitive assessment tools and domains for chemotherapy-induced cognitive impairments in cancer survivors.

ABSTRACT:

Backgrounds

Cancer survivors suffer from specific symptoms known as chemotherapy-induced cognitive impairments (CICIs). CICIs are difficult to capture with existing assessments such as the brief screening test for dementia. Although recommended neuropsychological tests (NPTs) exist, international consensus and shared cognitive domains of assessment tools are unknown. The aim of this scoping review was as follows: (1) to identify studies that assess CICIs in cancer survivors; (2) to identify shared cognitive assessment tools and domains by mapping the domains reported in studies using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) framework.

Methods

The study followed the recommendations made by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review
