Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The change in cognition via alertness (without signal tone) is examined with the test battery of attentional performance (TAP).Reaction time in milliseconds is measured at time points T1-T3 (T1: baseline; T2: after 3 months; T3: after 6 months). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| -Cognition (objective): tests of attention performance via alertness (with signal), go/nogo, working memory; verbal learning and memory test; trail making test A and B. - Cognition (PRO): FACT-Cog. - Health-related quality of life (PRO): EORTC-QLQ-C30; - Cancer-related fatigue (PRO): EORTC-QLQ-FA12; - Depression (PRO): PHQ9; anxiety (PRO): GAD7. -Physical performance: 6-minute walking test. Confounders: sociodemographic data, medical data All parameters (except sociodemographic data: collected only at T1) will be collected at time points T1-T3 (T1: baseline examination; T2: after 3 months; T3: after 6 months). | — |
