  1. FACT-Cog Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Cognitive Function, CogPCA: perceived cognitive abilities subscale; CogPCI: perceived cognitive impairment subscale; CogOth: comments from others subscale; CogQoL: quality of life subscale; SD Standard deviation, higher mean scores indicates better perceived cognitive functioning, P < 0.05 is considered significant
