Background: Cognitive function impairment is a severe yet largely unrecognized adverse reaction among patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) following radiotherapy.
Objectives: The aims of this study were to examine the level of cognitive function, explore the influencing factors of the cognitive function of NPC after intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT), and identify the mediating role of sleep quality between negative affect and cognitive function.
Methods: In total, 200 patients with NPC after IMRT were recruited from a tertiary cancer center in Southern China between September 2020 and March 2021.
