Sanne Schagen
Cognition and cancer
Many cancer patients experience cognitive changes during their disease course and following treatment that interfere with their daily life activities. The projects constituting the research line of Sanne Schagen center around the investigation of the incidence, nature, severity and determinants of cognitive problems associated with cancer and its treatments.
Identifying patients at risk, and the emotional, cognitive and biological mechanisms associated with these effects, is critical for prevention and treatment.
