Cancer-related cognitive dysfunction (CRCD) affects up to 75% of patients receiving chemotherapy and older adults are at greater risk of developing CRCD, which can negatively affect their functional independence and quality of life. Memory and Attention Adaptation Training-Geriatrics (MAAT-G) is a cognitive behavioral therapy-based intervention tailored specifically for older adults. MAAT-G is a series of 10 workshops delivered by a trained health profession via videoconferencing technology. The feasibility of MAAT-G in older cancer survivors with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) is being evaluated.
