Self-reported cognitive impairments and quality of life in patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumor: Results of a multinational survey.

A majority of GIST patients report cognitive symptoms that have a negative impact on quality of life, with longer term survivors (≥5 years) tending to report more cognitive impairments. Given the success of TKI therapy to substantially increase overall survival of patients with GIST, addressing CRCI in clinical practice may improve long-term GIST survivor function and quality of life.
