Impaired attention in women undergoing treatment for primary breast cancer? : a pilot study

Includes bibliographical references. "This study explored the nature, prevalence and short-term course of attentional deficits in a group of primary breast cancer patients...It is hoped that the findings from this study will encourage further exploration of the concentration difficulties reported by cancer patients. Careful prospective and logitudinal research begins to tease out the contributions of potential etiological mechanisms such as disease-related factors, treatments, and aspects of the cancer experience such as information burden and attentional fatigue, could guide detection and intervention efforts."
