Effectiveness of Non-Pharmacological Interventions to Improve Cognition in Cancer: A Protocol For An Overview Of Systematic Reviews

Many cancer survivors, including those with both a current or previous diagnosis of cancer, experience cancer-related cognitive impairments (CRCI). CRCI can impact their ability to think quickly, clearly, make decisions and perform daily actions. There have been a variety of non-pharmacological interventions developed and trialed with the aim of reducing CRCI or mitigating its impact. The aim of this work is to provide an overall picture of the effectiveness of non-pharmacological interventions to improve cognition in cancer survivors by providing an overview and synthesis of systematic reviews. ### Competing Interest Statement The authors have declared no competing interest. ### Funding Statement This study did not receive any funding ### Author Declarations I confirm all relevant ethical guidelines have been followed, and any necessary IRB and/or ethics committee approvals have been obtained. Yes The details of the IRB/oversight body that provided approval or exemption for the research described are given below: This study will review available systematic reviews I confirm that all necessary patient/participant consent has been obtained and the appropriate institutional forms have been archived, and that any patient/participant/sample identifiers included were not known to anyone (e.g., hospital staff, patients or participants themselves) outside the research group so cannot be used to identify individuals. Yes I understand that all clinical trials and any other prospective interventional studies must be registered with an ICMJE-approved registry, such as ClinicalTrials.gov. I confirm that any such study reported in the manuscript has been registered and the trial registration ID is provided (note: if posting a prospective study registered retrospectively, please provide a statement in the trial ID field explaining why the study was not registered in advance). Yes I have followed all appropriate research reporting guidelines, such as any relevant EQUATOR Network research reporting checklist(s) and other pertinent material, if applicable. Yes All data produced in the present work will be contained in the manuscript
