Abstract
Cancer and its treatments are associated with increased risk for cancer-related cognitive impairment (CRCI). Methods and measures used to study and assess self-reported CRCI (sr-CRCI), however, remain diverse, resulting in heterogeneity across studies. The Patient-Reported Outcomes Working Group has been formed to promote homogeneity in the methods used to study sr-CRCI. In this report, using a psychometric taxonomy, we inventory and appraise instruments used in research to measure sr-CRCI, and we consider advances in patient-reported outcome methodology. Given its psychometric properties, we recommend the Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System Cognitive Function Short Form 8a for measurement of sr-CRCI in cancer patients and survivors, at a minimum, to increase scientific rigor and progress in addressing CRCI.Funding Information
