Description
Chieh-Ning Li, Nai-Wen Guo, and Bei-Yi Su reviewed studies in two thousand twenty-six on whether self-reported thinking complaints match tested impairment in cancer outside the brain. Patients often report fog, yet test scores and complaints line up only weakly. Some past work hints complaints form a distinct brain pattern of their own.
Sixteen studies with just over two thousand patients met their rules, drawn from two hundred candidates. A multilevel meta-analysis of many correlation values found the link low but real. The link varied by thinking domain, and by the share of women and the age spread in each study. Attention and memory links steadied as the female share rose.
