Why is it important?
Brain tumour survivors often face unique challenges from chronic cognitive deficits such as memory problems or executive dysfunction. Cognitive rehabilitation is a relatively new field. With few well-controlled studies in cancer patients, oncology and supportive care teams lack accessible, reliable tools to address cognitive dysfunction.
Perspectives
Goal Management Training (GMT) is a neuroscience-based integration of mindfulness and strategy training. The Brain Health Workshop (BHW) offers supportive psycho-education about living with a brain tumour.
