Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce a call for papers for a Special Issue of the journal Cancers entitled "Brain Tumors—Related Cognitive Impairment". This Special Issue aims to provide a platform for the latest research and developments in understanding the effects of brain tumors and their treatments on cognitive functions in patients. We invite you to submit original research articles and reviews that explore various aspects of this important topic, including but not limited to the following:
The effects of specific treatments (surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, etc.) in brain tumors on cognitive function, including aphasia. Interventions and strategies to mitigate cognitive decline in patients with brain tumors. Patient (proxy)-reported outcomes on cognitive functions before and/or after brain tumor treatment.
We believe that your insights and contributions will significantly enrich the field of brain tumor-related cognitive impairment and provide valuable information for researchers and clinicians.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Warm regards,
Dr. Djaina Satoer
Dr. Anne Marie Buunk
