Abstract
In recent years, we have seen a significant increase in the incidence and prevalence of oncological diseases. With the evolution of treatments and the tendency to increase the life expectancy of cancer patients, it is necessary to consider even more: not only survival but also the quality of life in this period, with the individual being able to maintain their family, social, and labor activities. An important and often neglected cause of impact on quality of life, functionality, and work capacity is cancer-related cognitive impairment, which arises from several etiologies, with chemotherapy being one of the most common. This chapter reviews the literature on cognitive dysfunction associated with chemotherapy and how to evaluate and clinically manage patients with this important complication, providing a clear and didactic text on the topic for health professionals who deal with cancer patients in their clinical practice or who are interested in studying and researching the theme.
