A significant proportion of breast cancer (BC) patients treated with chemotherapy complain of problems with cognitive function (e.g., short-term memory, verbal ability, decision making, psychomotor functioning). This continuing education module is designed to give the reader/learner an increased understanding of the effect of chemotherapy treatment on cognitive function in breast cancer (BC) including related risk factors, demographic information, and outcome data, and to aid in caring for the patient with this diagnosis. Readers may explore any or all of the topics. One contact hour of continuing education credit is available for those who successfully complete the post-test and evaluation form.
