Abstract

CASAVILCA-ZAMBRANO, Sandro A et al. Cognitive impairment due to adjuvant chemotherapy in breast cancer patients: A problem awaiting definition in Peru. Rev Neuropsiquiatr [online]. 2017, vol.80, n.4, pp.239-246. ISSN 0034-8597.  http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.20453/rnp.v80i4.3237.

Chemotherapy-induced cognitive impairment is a poorly understood biological process; however, there is evidence that it could affect patients in adjuvant treatment for breast cancer whose incidence varies widely according to the study population, the therapeutic scheme applied and the methodology used in its evaluation. The present review seeks to initiate discussions about the need to generate information in our milieu about this disorder, in order to propose preventive and control strategies by healthcare personnel staff, and improve the quality of life of patients undergoing this type of treatment.

Keywords : Cognitive impairment; adjuvant chemotherapy; breast cancer.
