 | "Chemo-Brain" or "Chemo-Fog"
Cancer treatment with chemotherapeutic drugs are often associated with delayed mental problems which is often referred to as "chemo-brain" and sometimes "chemo-fog".
This term refers to a subtle decline in mental ability, lack of concentration and muddled thinking in some patients receiving chemotherapy.
The problems were usually with retrieving memories, focusing and organizational skills rather then forming memories or intelligence.
Some doctors thought that these side effects were due to the patient's vulnerable psychological state - stress of having cancer or living with the fear that the cancer would reappear. Some thought it was due to anemia, a common side effect of chemotherapy.
Nobody was sure whether these symptoms were linked to the drugs used.
Recently, research* done by Mark Noble and colleagues at the University of Rochester Medical Center, New York, found scientific reasons for this problem.
The research group showed that using a single chemotherapeutic drug was sufficent to cause delayed degeneration in the central nervous system. The drug used (5-fluorouracil(5-FU)) is a widely used chemotherapeutic drug that is used alone or in combination with other drugs in the treatment of cancers of the colon, rectum, breast, stomach, pancreas, ovaries and bladder.
These studies were done since 61% of chemo patients complained of these problems, and one year later over 50% of these patients had shown no improvement.
The research team also felt that chemotherapeutic drugs will remain the standard of care for cancer patients in many years to come and thus they needed to better undersand the damage.
In their study, they found that mice nerve cells had become badly damaged and that this damage increased weeks after the administration of the drug.
They found by monitoring different cell types that the myelin shealth of the nerve was damaged and that this damage was not self-repairing and often became worse over time.
In other words, the problem was caused by the loss of this fatty insulation protecting the brain's vital nerve connections.
They carried out lab tests on human nerve cells as well as some cancer cells and found that the cancer drugs cisplatin, carmustine, and cytarabine were significantly more toxic for the nerve cells, when compared to the cancer cells. The drugs damaged 40-80% of the cancer cells, and 70%-100% of human brain cells
Dr. Mark Noble, team leader, said "This is the first study that puts chemo-brain on a sound scientific footing, in terms of neurobiology and cellular biology."
Nutrients used for repairing nerve damage can be found in the Nerve Support Formula.
Research on Chemo Brain is available in the Journal of Biology, November 29 issue.
