- Brief Summary
Sixty-four prospective studies were included after checking for eligibility. The neuropsychological tests (NPTs) were divided into seven main cognitive domains. The specific mental functions were often used in the order of memory, attention, higher-level cognitive functions, and psychomotor functions. Perceptual functions were used less frequently. The Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Cognitive function (FACT-Cog) was a shared consensus tool among the patient-reported outcomes (PROs).

The exclusion criteria for our study are as follows: (1) no abstract (2) languages other than English (3) review article, interventional trial, and case study (4) experiments with animals (5) primary brain tumor or brain metastasis (6) unclear distinction between hormone therapy and radiation therapy (7) having any other reason that the reviewer finds to be an obvious content discrepancy. As an example of this content inconsistency, in order to examine the effect of chemotherapy treatment on cognitive impairment more purely, we excluded cases in which the main topic of the previous study was considered by the reviewers to be strongly influenced by depression, anxiety, fatigue, or anemia.
