The Henneghan Lab

We are happy to announce our Korean translation of the Optimizing Cognitive Function During and After Cancer Treatment handout is now available!

We extend our gratitude to Bora Sun, RN, MSB and So Hyeon Bang, RN, PhD for their time and assistance with the translation of this material from English to Korean. Thank you!

At the Henneghan Lab, Cognitive Health Initiative for Cancer Survivors, we seek to assess, identify, and improve cognitive outcomes for all cancer survivors.
Cognitive challenges during and post-cancer treatments are common, ranging from slower cognitive processing to difficulty with planning and memory. These symptoms are unique to each individual and can vary daily. The good news? Most will see improvement over time.

Explore our resources if you're experiencing persistent cognitive challenges post-treatment.

Interventions to Manage Cancer-Related Cognitive Symptoms: Meditation & Stress Reduction

Various types of meditation and mindfulness reduce cognitive problems after cancer treatment by increasing awareness of your body, mind, and surroundings. Mindfulness is especially effective for improving attention in cancer survivors. Techniques like Kirtan Kriya, Tibetan Sound, and Qigong also enhance cognitive functioning, verbal abilities, and memory.
