Abstract

Nineteen non-small cell lung cancer patients admitted for chemotherapy were investigated for cognitive dysfunction and factors affecting cognitive function. The results showed that the patients experienced some decline in cognitive function, and fatigue affected cognitive function and quality of life. Cognitive function in cancer patients affects their treatment choices, employment, and social life. We need to be aware of the cognitive dysfunction of cancer patients, and at the same time, we need to intervene with consideration for cognitive function, as fatigue can easily lead to a sense of cognitive decline.
