Chemo brain is a common, and disconcerting, side effect of chemotherapy. The syndrome is generally described as changes in cognitive abilities that occur during chemotherapy treatment for cancer. People complain that they are mentally tired, can't think clearly or can't think as fast as they used to.
Research suggests that chemo brain may be caused by uncontrolled inflammation. A new study is underway at UCLA evaluating a cognitive rehabilitation program for women with breast cancer who may be experiencing cognitive difficulties.
