Abstract

Background: The pathophysiology of chemotherapy‐induced cognitive impairment (CICI) remains unclear. Besides direct neurotoxicity, chemotherapy may trigger peripheral proinflammatory responses leading to neuroinflammation and neuronal injury. This longitudinal study investigated changes in peripheral inflammatory and neuronal markers, and multimodal magnetic resonance imaging measures from pre‐to post‐chemotherapy, and their potential role in CICI. Methods: This study included 32 women receiving chemotherapy for early breast cancer (C+), 35 patients not exposed to chemotherapy (C–), and 46 healthy women (HC) age‐ and education‐matched. Participants were assessed at diagnosis (T0), 3 months post‐chemotherapy (T1), and 1 year post‐chemotherapy (T2), or at matched intervals. Differences over time were assessed in cognitive outcomes, peripheral inflammatory and neuronal markers, and multimodal magnetic resonance imaging measures, reflecting white matter (WM) lesions, magnetic resonance spectroscopy metabolites, WM microstructure, and the diffusion tensor imaging along the perivascular space (DTI‐ALPS) index. To investigate changes in WM structure, the authors performed a longitudinal fixel‐based analysis on multi‐shell diffusion‐weighted images. Associations between peripheral inflammation and WM microstructure were explored, as well as their relationship to both subjective and objective cognitive outcomes. Results: This study observed alterations after chemotherapy in subjective and objective cognition, inflammatory profiles, neurofilament light chain, the DTI‐ALPS index, and WM microstructure within the left inferior longitudinal fasciculus and in the genu of the prefrontal corpus callosum. Alterations in peripheral inflammatory profiles were associated with worse performance in objective cognition, but not with changes in WM microstructure. Conclusion: Peripheral inflammatory responses and alterations in WM microstructure are potential key mechanisms underlying CICI.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
