title: Radiation, chemotherapy, and symptom management in cancer-related cognitive dysfunction.
abstract: Patients with cancer are concerned about their ability to interact with friends and family and to perform activities associated with daily living. The combined effects of the disease process, its treatment with surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy, and the medications used to manage symptoms may all impact cognitive function. Minimizing the effect of each treatment modality on cognitive processing requires an understanding of how these treatment modalities may impact cognition.
