Results published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease showed dementia patients with cancer history demonstrated better cognition at dementia diagnosis and declined slower than dementia patients without cancer history.
“Our findings indicate that, even in the long run, only around 20% of cancer patients develop dementia after their cancer diagnosis, and those who do seem to experience better cognition at diagnosis and over time than those without a prior cancer diagnosis,” said Fowler, now a postdoctoral scholar trainee in the UAB Division of Hematology and Oncology in the Marnix E. Heersink School of Medicine.
