Subgroups of cognitively affected and unaffected breast cancer survivors after chemotherapy: a data-driven approach

ConclusionsWe discovered that almost half of breast cancer survivors after chemotherapy form a cognitively affected subgroup, using a data-driven approach. This proportion is higher than previous studies using prespecified cutoffs observed.Implications for cancer survivorsA larger group of cancer survivors may be cognitively affected than previously recognized, and a less strict threshold for cognitive problems may be needed in this population.
