abstract = {Cancer-related cognitive impairment (CRCI) is a frequent
and burdensome problem that is still insufficiently
understood and managed. We investigated subjective and
objective measures of CRCI, as recommended by the
International Cancer and Cognition Task Force (ICCTF) in
cancer patients prior to systemic or radiation therapy with
respect to potential influencing or associated psychosocial,
demographic, or lifestyle factors.Female patients with
breast or gynecological tumors (n = 239, mean age = 55.5, SD
= 11.6) prior to any systemic or radiation therapy completed
validated subjective (FACT-Cog: perceived cognitive
impairment [PCI], perceived cognitive ability [PCA], impact
on quality of life [IQoL]) and objective measures of CRCI
(Trail Making Test [TMT-A and -B], Controlled Oral Word
Association Test [COWA], and Hopkins Verbal Learning
Test-Revised [HVLT-R]). Association with cross-sectionally
assessed age, body mass index, education, smoking, alcohol
intake, sleep problems, social support, anxiety, and pain
was investigated using multiple linear regression models.A
quarter $(25.1\%)$ of patients showed indication for CRCI
based on the PCI score. Subjective and objective CRCI
measures showed no or only weak correlations, also when
adjusting for age and education (partial Spearman
correlations with each other, all |r| ≤ 0.21). Anxiety,
sleep problems, and pain were significantly associated with
low subjective cognitive function (PCI, PCA, and IQoL). Poor
objective cognitive values (TMT, COWA, and HVLT-R) were
mainly determined by higher age and lower
education.Cancer-related cognitive impairment is not solely
(chemo-)therapy-induced but may be triggered or influenced
by anxiety, sleep problems, and pain. Addressing these
issues early in the treatment phase could potentially
alleviate perceived CRCI. The ICCTF-recommended
neuropsychological tests do not adequately capture this CRCI
prior to systemic or radiation therapy, but could serve as
complementary tools to monitor cognitive changes over time,
independent of psychosocial influences.},
