Our case was a 76-year-old female patient who presented to our clinic with complaints of forgetfulness that did not affect daily living activities for the last year. Breast cancer was diagnosed in 2013 and she has been receiving anastrozole treatment for 6 years after local mass excision surgery and radiotherapy. After a comprehensive geriatric evaluation, cognitive impairment due to systemic cancer therapy was detected and treatment was started with Theracurmin 90 mg twice a day therapy. After 3-months of Theracurmin therapy, she had no cognitive improvement during the follow-up. This case report demonstrated that Theracurmin treatment may be a new option for chemobrain.Keywords: chemobrain, Theracurmin, elderly, cognitive impairment, cancerErken NDost Gunay FSSoysal PIsik ATDove Medical Pressarticlechemobraintheracurminelderlycognitive impairmentcancerGeriatricsRC952-954.6ENClinical Interventions in Aging, Vol Volume 15, Pp 691-693 (2020)
