This study aimed to investigate the event-based prospective memory (EBPM) and time-based prospective memory (TBPM) in chemotherapy-induced cognitive impairment in patients with breast cancer.
Forty patients with breast cancer who underwent adjuvant chemotherapy and 40 age-matched and education-matched healthy women were administered with a battery of neuropsychological tests including EBPM and TBPM tasks.
A significant difference between breast cancer patients and controls was found in the scores on the mini-mental state examination (t = -11.684, p < 0.01), verbal fluency test (t = -7.939, p < 0.01), and digit span (t = -2.538, p < 0.05). Compared with healthy controls, breast cancer patients exhibited a poorer performance on EBPM (t = -7.096, p < 0.01) but not on TBPM (t = -1.921, p > 0.05).
Our results suggest that breast cancer patients who had undergone adjuvant chemotherapy show deficits in EBPM but not in TBPM.
本研究旨在调查乳腺癌患者化疗引起的认知障碍中的基于事件的前瞻性记忆（EBPM）和基于时间的前瞻性记忆（TBPM）。
对40例接受辅助化疗的乳腺癌患者和40例年龄及教育程度匹配的健康女性进行了一系列神经心理学测试，包括EBPM和TBPM任务。
乳腺癌患者与对照组在简易精神状态检查得分（t = -11.684，p < 0.01）、语言流畅性测试得分（t = -7.939，p < 0.01）和数字广度得分（t = -2.538，p < 0.05）上存在显著差异。与健康对照组相比，乳腺癌患者在EBPM上表现较差（t = -7.096，p < 0.01），但在TBPM上无差异（t = -1.921，p > 0.05）。
我们的结果表明，接受辅助化疗的乳腺癌患者存在EBPM缺陷，但不存在TBPM缺陷。
