Initial encoding deficits with intact memory retention in older long-term breast cancer survivors

ConclusionsOlder long-term breast cancer survivors exhibit a consistent pattern of initial encoding deficits, but memory retention was comparable to controls. Future research should consider the role of encoding deficits and age-related factors when evaluating cognitive function in older survivors.Implications for Cancer SurvivorsCommonly reported memory problems may stem from encoding deficits in older long-term cancer survivors.
