Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate cognitive changes in cancer patients compared to those without cancer, focusing on patients' cognitive performance before and after their cancer diagnosis.
- Over 2,200 participants were analyzed, with 718 having cognitive assessments; results showed that cognitive function trajectories for cancer patients were largely similar to controls, except for a slight decline in memory in cancer patients post-diagnosis.
- The findings suggest that cancer does not significantly impact cognitive decline over time in patients who primarily received local treatments, indicating the need for future research to identify patients at higher risk for cognitive impairment.
