Developing risk prediction model of mild cognitive impairment in patients with colorectal cancer from active treatment to survivor by exploring the effect of surgery and chemotherapy on CICI, and to identify high risk population; and testing the effect of dual-task walking on improving cognitive function (memory, executive function and attention) in CRC patients.
The aims of this three-year study are to explore cognitive function under different stages of colorectal cancer (CRC) and its related factors; and understand its disturbance and coping process caused by cancer-induced cognitive impairment (CICI) from patient perspective; and further to test effect of dual-task walking on improving cognitive function in CRC patients.
