Tackling Cognitive Challenges in Survivorship Care

Dela

In this episode of ASTCT Talks, host Christina Ferraro, nurse practitioner from the Cleveland Clinic, sits down with Vanessa Kennedy, MD, from Stanford University, to address a critical aspect of survivorship: cognitive health, including issues like brain fog, memory lapses and reduced executive function.

The discussion highlights:

  • New ASTCT consensus guidelines on cognitive assessment.
  • Practical strategies for operationalizing cognitive screening in busy clinical settings.
  • How factors like anxiety, depression, sleep and polypharmacy influence cognition — and why addressing these is critical.
  • Emerging interventions, from cognitive rehabilitation to surprisingly effective options like jigsaw puzzles.

This episode offers actionable insights into supporting cognitive function and quality of life in survivorship care.
