Purpose Of Review: To summarize and evaluate evidence available on the effects of yoga on cancer-associated cognitive decline (CACD).
Recent Findings: A systematic review was conducted using four databases of articles published before January 1, 2020. Ten articles met the inclusion criteria (six randomized controlled trials, two single-arm studies, one non-randomized controlled trial, and one case series study). Studies were predominantly conducted with breast cancer patients using low-intensity hatha yoga programs. Of the 10 articles, five reported some positive effects on CACD, but significant biases were possible due to design shortcomings. Cohen's d effect sizes ranged from |0.03| to |0.74|. The evidence to date is insufficient to suggest that yoga is beneficial for attenuating CACD. More rigorous trials controlling for non-specific factors are warranted. The field would also benefit from examining self-delivered modes of yoga for treating CACD in various cancer populations to enhance practice sustainability and generalizability.

Backgroud: Cancer-related cognitive impairment is one of the common complications in children with cancer, but our understanding of their experience with cognitive deficits remains limited. From the perspective of parents, this study aimed to explore the distress and demands faced by children with cancer-related cognitive impairment, to provide references for developing targeted intervention strategies for cancer children.
Methods: We used a purposeful sampling method to conduct semi-structured interviews with the parents of 18 children with cancer-related cognitive impairment.
Mood, Anxiety, and Cognitive Alterations in Cancer Patients.

Universidade de São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil.
Article Synopsis
- The study assessed mood, anxiety, cognition, and cytokine levels in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) among 109 participants, including cancer patients with cachexia (CC), cancer patients without cachexia (CWC), and controls.
- CC patients displayed significant levels of depression (62.96%) and anxiety, as well as notable cognitive impairments, particularly in vocabulary and attention, leading to a lower perceived quality of life compared to controls.
- Cytokine analysis revealed elevated MCP-1 levels in cancer patients, with lower levels of MIP-1β and VEGF in CC patients, indicating a correlation between mental and cognitive impairments and inflammation related to cancer and cachexia.
Longitudinal Trajectories of Self-Reported Cognitive Function and Associated Factors Among Older Cancer Survivors.

Department of Nursing, Soonchunhyang University, Cheonan, South Korea.
Background: Cancer-associated cognitive decline may result in difficulties in maintaining daily life activities for older patients with cancer. It is, therefore, critical to identify changes in cognitive function throughout illness trajectories.
Aim: To determine the longitudinal patterns and factors associated with cognitive function among older cancer survivors.
