This conference is directed toward researchers and clinicians interested in state-of-the-art information related to the most current and ongoing research examining issues of cognition and cancer.

The goal of this conference is to present and discuss current research examining the impact of cancer and cancer-related treatment on cognitive and behavioral functioning in adults with non-central nervous system cancers. Presentations will focus on state-of-the-art research elucidating the nature of the cognitive and neurobehavioral sequelae associated with cancer and cancer therapies, the mechanisms that underlie these changes in function, and interventions to prevent or manage these undesired symptoms and/or their side effects.
