Purpose To explore the relationship of regional cerebral blood flow and metabolism with cognitive function and past exposure to chemotherapy for breast cancer.Patients and methods Subjects treated for breast cancer with adjuvant chemotherapy remotely (5–10 years previously) were studied with neuropsychologic testing and positron emission tomography (PET), and were compared with control subjects who had never received chemotherapy. [O-15] water PET scans was acquired during performance of…

Investigating the neural basis of the chemotherapy induced neurobehavioral changes by means of metabolic imaging and neuropsychological testing concluded that the mechanism could be an accelerating ageing / oxidative stress that, in some patients at risk, could result in an early and persistent cognitive impairment.
Cerebral hyporesponsiveness and cognitive impairment 10 years after chemotherapy for breast cancer

Results indicate that high‐dose adjuvant chemotherapy is associated with long‐term cognitive impairments, underpinned by task‐specific hyporesponsiveness of dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and parahippocampal gyrus and a generalized hyporeSponsiveness of lateral posterior parietal cortex encompassing attentional processing.

The aim of this paper was to survey the reports on cerebral structural and functional alterations in women with breast cancer treated with chemotherapy (CTx), and focuses on compensatory mechanisms, which activate additional brain areas or neural connection to reach the premorbid cognitive efficiency.

Increased cognitive workload and lack of cognitive ease in breast cancer patients treated with the AC-T regimen is revealed, proposing the presumable neurotoxic sequelae of this chemotherapy regimen in comparison with the TAC regimen.

Parietal hyperactivation after systemic treatment in the context of stable levels of executive task performance is compatible with a compensatory processing account of hyperactivation or maintain adequate performance levels, suggesting different neurobehavioral trajectories in breast cancer patients depending on treatment type.

The present study shows that chemotherapy induces significant transient changes in the glucose metabolism of multiple cerebral cortical and white matter regions with a prevailing involvement of the prefrontal cortex, and the severity of these changes are significantly related with the number of chemotherapy cycles.

Data from this study support the hypothesis that systemic chemotherapy can have a negative impact on cognitive functioning as measured by standardized neuropsychologic tests and self-report of memory changes and suggest that only a subgroup of survivors may experience long-term cognitive deficits associated with systemic chemotherapy.

Cognitive differences were observed in breast cancer patients receiving adjuvant chemotherapy compared with healthy controls, and these differences did not seem to be caused by significant differences in mood disturbance between the two groups.
