Brief Summary

The primary endpoint was the proportion of patients showing an improvement in the score of perceived deficiencies (score ranging from 0 to 72) of the FACT-Cog after treatment. The FACT-Cog is a self-administered questionnaire assessing the patients felt their cognitive difficulties (memory, attention, concentration) and the impact of these difficulties on their quality of life. The improvement is defined as an increase of 7 points \>= cognitive score won by the (a) patient (e) after the treatment
