European Journal of Cancer Care, 09/08/09
Kvale EA et al. – It has been suggested that chemotherapy treatment for cancer may contribute to cognitive decline in older cancer survivors.

While inconclusive, this hypothesis generating work suggests that cognitive dysfunction following cancer treatment may contribute to disability observed in older cancer survivors.
