Abstract

Recent studies have attributed impaired cognitive function in cancer patients, or Cancer Related Cognitive Impairment (CRCI), to various causes. CRCI screening is vital for guiding important decisions about treatment options. This study investigates the emotional Stroop-test-based CRCI screening, examining response time when naming the colors of negative emotional words. Cancer patients (n=17) participated in two tests: (1) the Stroop task; (2) State-Trait Anxiety Inventory. Results suggest that Stroop-based CRCI screening is feasible.
