[Caring Recommendations for Cancer-Related Cognitive Impairment in Older Patients With Cancer].

Increasing average life expectancy has been accompanied by a steady increase in the number of older patients with cancer. Notably, age-related declines in cognitive function are further exacerbated by cancer-related cognitive impairment in this patient population. Therefore, cancer-related cognitive impairment in older patients with cancer has attracted increasing attention, and care recommendations for this population are needed. The diverse factors affecting cognitive function present significant challenges for clinical healthcare providers and researchers caring for this population. In this article, the current status of cognitive dysfunction and its related factors in older patients with cancer are introduced and recommendations for clinical care and future research are discussed based on empirical evidence to provide appropriate clinical care and develop future interventions for older adults with cancer.
