Longitudinal Relationship Between Frailty and Cognition in Patients 50 Years and Older with Breast Cancer

Abstract

In patients with breast cancer aged 50 and older, longitudinal decline in FACT-Cog and objective measures of attention and memory were associated with increased frailty during treatment and up to 6 months posttreatment. Overall, our study suggests cognition and frailty are both important factors to assess in breast cancer patients. J Am Geriatr Soc 67:928-936, 2019.
