Synopsis

Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer among women, and most of them suffered from chemotherapy-related cognitive impairment (CRCI). In this study, we aimed to use generalized q-sampling imaging (GQI) to detect the relationship between GQI indices and mood symptoms caused by chemotherapy, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), or post-traumatic growth (PTG). Using statistical multiple regression, we found the relationship change between GQI indices and depression, and a consistent relationship was obtained between GQI indices and anxiety with or without chemotherapy. The results indicated that neurotoxicity or traumatic stressors may affect brain structures.
