Echoes of the struggle with cancer: cognitive impairment in Chinese children
Pediatric cancer patients exhibit lower cognitive function, influenced by a combination of sleep quality, family environment, age at diagnosis, anti-cancer treatment, and psychological factors. Clinical healthcare providers should accurately assess and identify cognitive impairments in these children and develop personalized intervention strategies based on their individual health status and influencing factors to enhance their cognitive abilities and improve their quality of life.
