Self-Reported Cancer-Related Cognitive Impairment in Patients With Breast Cancer Is Associated With Potassium Channel Gene Polymorphisms

Cancer-related cognitive impairment (CRCI) is reported by 57% of patients with breast cancer (Schmidt et al., 2016). CRCI can include difficulties with attention and concentration, decrements in motivation, an inability to recall names of familiar objects or people, and memory loss (Mayo et al., 2021). The molecular mechanisms that underlie CRCI are complex and not fully understood (Oppegaard et al., 2022). Therefore, progress in the development of prevention and mitigation strategies remains limited (Onzi et al., 2022).
