The Cognitive Assessment for Chemo Fog Patients (CAB-CF) from CogniFit is a leading professional test that uses clinical and validated tasks designed to quickly and accurately detect the presence of symptoms, traits, or dysfunctions in the cognitive processes affected by cancer treatment.
This innovative Chemo Brain test is a scientific resource that makes it possible to take a complete cognitive screening, understand cognitive strengths and weaknesses, and evaluate the risk index for the presence of Chemo Brain (or Chemo Fog). This test is suitable for people 18 years and older, like young adults, adults, or seniors who have undergone cancer treatment and may present related cognitive decline. Anyone can easily use this neuropsychological assessment battery. The results of this assessment will automatically be available after completing the test, which usually lasts about 30-40 minutes.
Cancer is one of the most devastating diseases that we have today, and the treatments for it can be aggressive for the patient. These treatment processes can noticeably weaken different cognitive skills, affecting daily life. The detection of this cognitive deterioration is an important part of the intervention and correction of this cognitive decline, and the earlier that you work to improve the skills, the better chance there is of recovering cognitive function and independence.
A clinical consultation and history, questionnaires, clinical evaluation scales, and clinical test are all effective tools for detecting certain cognitive problems, but they are able to detect the degree to which these cognitive skills are affected. A clinically validated neuropsychological assessment can help perform an exhaustive assessment of the different cognitive functions affected by cancer treatments. Note that CogniFit does not directly offer a medical diagnosis of chemo fog but the neuropsychological assessment can help perform a screening of different cognitive functions. We recommend using this Chemo Brain test to complement a professional assessment, and never to replace a clinical consultation.

When should you use this Chemo Brain test?
When should you use this Chemo Brain test?
This assessment battery makes it possible to reliably detect the symptoms and level of cognitive deterioration related to Chemo Fog in adults and seniors.
Without the proper intervention and help, Chemo Fog may start to affect a person's professional, personal, and family areas.
Chemo Fog may cause generalized deterioration and difficulties at work or at home. We can differentiate between:
Symptoms of Chemo Brain
This term is used to describe the changes in memory, attention, and concentration, and the ability to do different mental tasks that are related to chemo or hormone therapy treatment for cancer. Other factors aside from medication can also play a role in these cognitive deficits, like age, gender, and the type of cancer.
Emotional Symptoms
A cancer diagnosis and its progression can cause considerable psychological distress and patients and their families. Studies show that between 25% and 50% of patients diagnosed with cancer will experience varying levels of emotional distress. Recent studies have shown that there is a higher presence of depression, anxiety, and emotional distress in cancer patients than the general population.
Physical Symptoms
Both the treatment and the disease itself can cause physical, digestive, metabolic, motor and sleep changes, as well as an alteration in how one sees their self-image. These changes may have a lesser or greater effect on the patient.

Description of the diagnostic criteria questionnaire
Description of the diagnostic criteria questionnaire
Mental Fog or Chemo Brain is characterized by a series of clinical symptoms. These indicators can help better understand the presence of this disorder, which is why the first part of the Cognitive Assessment for Chemo Fog Patients (CAB-CF) is a questionnaire that adapts to the main diagnostic symptoms of Chemo Fog for each age range.
The questions in this questionnaire are similar to what one may find in a diagnostic manual, clinical questionnaire, or scales for Chemo Fog. However, the questions have been simplified to be easily understood by any user.
Made up of a series of simple questions that can be completed by the professional responsible for the assessment or the person taking the Chemo Brain test. The questionnaire covers the following domains: Emotional symptoms (psychological distress, like anxiety or depression), Physical symptoms (changes in self-image, metabolic changes, sleep changes, fatigue, muscle pain, etc.), and Chemo Fog symptoms (problems with different cognitive skills, like memory or attention).
Evaluation tasks
Our Digital Cognitive Assessments
CogniFit digital tests are designed to measure a specific areas of cognition and are grouped together to form customized batteries based on the unique requirements of the study design and population. Learn more about our different tests and how they can support the unique needs of your study by exploring the details and demos below.
The CogniFit Verbal Fluency Test is a digitized replica of the classic F-A-S task (Spreen & Benton, 1977). This task will allow to know the user's verbal fluency, i.e. the ability to evoke valid and distinct exemplars of a particular category. This task requires a device with a microphone and permissions to use it.
Visual Episodic Memory Test MemTrax
The CogniFit Visual Episodic Memory Test is a version of the Memtrax memory assessment task (Ashford, 2005). This task seeks to measure episodic memory through items of a visual nature, identifying only whether the displayed image has been previously displayed or not.
The CogniFit Selective Attention Test is based on the classic d2 Test (Brickenkamp, 1962). This task is specifically aimed at measuring the user's selective attention.
Simplified Eriksen's Flanker Test
The CogniFit's Simplified Eriksen's Flanker Test is a shorter digitized replica of the task of the same name (Eriksen and Eriksen, 1974). This task seeks to measure how much interference is generated by the presentation of adjacent incongruent and irrelevant visual information, but avoiding the neutral trials. The difference in reaction time between incongruent and congruent trials responded to correctly is what is known as the Flankers Effect.
Eye-Hand Coordination Test Multidirectional and Unpredictable Direction
The Coordination Test HECOOR was inspired by the classic Trail Making Test (Reitan, 1955), and by the Vienna Test System (Whiteside, 2002). The test-taker is required to track, with the mouse (or on-screen digital joystick, if using a mobile device), a ball moving in an undetermined itinerary.
The Exploration Test SCAVI-REST was inspired by the Hooper Visual Organization Task (VOT) test by Hooper (1983). This cognitive assessment is responsible for measuring visual scanning and response time in order to find a stimulus that is surrounded by other, less important stimuli. Initially, it requires an investigation of the context on a general level, in order to later perform a more specific scan.
