Understanding the mechanisms underlying the development of chemobrain would assist the prevention or treatment of the adverse effects of chemotherapy on brain function. In a clinical setting, limitations regarding sample collection, the heterogeneity of cancer patients, and exogenous confounding factors ...
The team tested the treatment on mice with chemo brain, by giving them the common chemotherapy drug cisplatin for five days, then five days off, and five on again, mimicking the human dosage regime. Some received the 'gamma therapy,' involving an hour per day of exposure to 40-Hz light ...
Chemotherapycan help you fightcancer, but side effects are almost certain. It’s common for you to have a cloudy mind, called "chemobrain," during and after treatment. Maybe you have a hard time remembering names or can’t multitask as well as you used to. As many as 3 out of 4 pe...
Study author, Dr. Adam Walker from Neuroscience Research Australia (NeuRA) and the University of New South Wales (UNSW), observed that symptoms associated with chemobrain were actually occurring prior to treatment. "This suggests cancer alone may be sufficient to induce cognitive impairment," Walker...

Improvements in treatment for non-CNS cancer have greatly improved survivorship, allowing increased attention to cancer- and treatment-related sequelae. Cognitive symptoms (cancer-related cognitive impairment, or CRCI) are reported by a large percentage of cancer survivors, and can have a clinically mea...
Brain cancer is a uniquely frightening and personal disease, as it strikes at the tissue that controls both our body and personal identity. Treatment remains a challenge for a variety of reasons. Attempts to spare normal brain, particularly in pediatric cancer, often limit surgical and radiologic ...
One of the most problematic side effects of cancer treatment, chemobrain - a range of symptoms including memory loss, inability to concentrate, difficulty thinking and other subtle cognitive changes following chemotherapy - seriously diminishes women's q
to the disease itself and its impact on the patient's wellbeing and psychosocial functioning, the aim of this manuscript is to shed the light on the fact that self-disgust can be related to the pharmacologic treatment of cancer, a paradigm that might be described as “emotional chemobrain”...
release, nanorobots are effectively realized by converting other forms of energy into propulsion and motion, which are considered as high-efficiency methods for drug delivery. In this article, we described recent advances in the treatment of brain cancer with nanorobots mainly from three aspects: ...
