The Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer (MASCC) shared on LinkedIn:
“Cancer-related cognitive impairment affects many survivors long after treatment ends. In this episode of MASCC’s Supportive Care Digest, Dr. Martin Harutyunyan gives an overview of Emerging From the Haze, a promising virtual solution.
A randomized pilot published in Oncology Nursing Forum shows that both live and prerecorded formats improve perceived cognitive abilities, with additional gains in activity, sleep, and mental well being. The program also reduced loneliness, an important contributor to cognitive challenges.
A meaningful contribution from Jamie Myers and colleagues, and an important step toward accessible and evidence-based survivorship care. Supportive care makes excellent cancer care possible.”
