The effect of chemotherapy on subjective cognitive function in younger early-stage breast cancer survivors treated with chemotherapy compared to older patients

ConclusionThis study confirms that chemotherapy is associated with impaired subjective self-reported cognitive functioning in breast cancer patients, and the effect persists at least up to 2  years after diagnosis. The impact of chemotherapy on self-reported cognitive functioning in the first 24 months is most pronounced in younger patients, especially those under 55 years of age.
