Study confirms long-term effects of 'chemobrain' in mice

(University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign) Women undergoing chemotherapy for breast cancer have long complained of lingering cognitive impairments after treatment.

A new study from the University of Illinois reports long-lasting cognitive impairments in mice when they are administered a chemotherapy regimen used to treat breast cancer in humans.
