Abstract
Cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy often face chemotherapy-induced cognitive impairment, known as chemo-brain, which can impact their quality of life. This impairment can manifest during or after treatment, with varying degrees of severity, onset times, and durations, ultimately affecting the patients' quality of life. This chapter explores the potential of natural language processing (NLP) strategies to address cognitive challenges in these patients. The focus is on evaluating the effectiveness of NLP solutions in managing issues like memory deficits, attention problems, language challenges, and executive function impairments. The work assesses NLP techniques in healthcare, emphasizing their role in enhancing cognitive functions and communication for chemo-brain patients through real-world case studies. Specific objectives include an in-depth examination of chemo-brain, critical evaluation of NLP's potential, analysis of case studies, and a discussion of recent NLP advancements.
