TABLE 6.

Overview of main findings/interactions across the discrete study measures.

Main findings in non‐CNS cancer survivors compared to healthy controls Summary of interactions in non‐CNS cancer survivors between main findings
FA superior cerebellar peduncle Chronic symptomatology (VHNSS, GSS, neurotoxicity) BRIEF neurocognitive functioning (↑ BRIEF scores = ↑ impairment)
Centralized inflammation caudate X X X
Centralized inflammation temporal X + Corr w/: VHNSS; neurotoxicity X
Centralized inflammation occipital X X − Corr w/: emotion control
Centralized inflammation CSF 3rd ventricle X X X X
Centralized inflammation CSF 4th ventricle X + Corr w/: sleep disturbance + Corr w/: shift
Peripheral pro‐inflammatory cytokines X X
Peripheral anti‐inflammatory cytokines X X
Peripheral blood C‐Reactive protein X −Corr (↓FA = ↑CRP)
White matter FA superior cerebellar peduncle −Corr w/: VHNSS; GSS; neurotoxicity X
