NCOG-10. EXECUTIVE DYSFUNCTION IN NEUROONCOLOGY: BEHAVIOR RATING INVENTORY OF EXECUTIVE FUNCTION IN ADULT PRIMARY BRAIN TUMOR PATIENTS

摘要

BACKGROUNDAdult primary brain tumor (PBT) survivors report persistent cognitive difficulties throughout treatment which are problematic for everyday functioning, employment capability, and quality of life. Cognitive domains often affected by cancer treatment appear to be attention and executive functioning (EF). One validated measure developed to assess an individual’s EF within daily living is the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function – Adult (BRIEF-A). To date, no published research has investigated the EF profile of PBT patients using the BRIEF-A.
