“…In the outpatient clinic, patients are considered for cognitive rehabilitation in the context of their medical status, rehabilitation needs, tolerance for intervention, HRQOL goals, and other factors. 102 Patients who are less aware of their impairments and experience greater functional impact (which is more common in the acute, postsurgical setting) may underestimate the need for rehabilitation, thus complicating engagement in treatment. 69,74,103 Suboptimal treatment intensity can also limit recovery, leading to frustration and psychological distress.…”

Intrinsic brain tumors often occur within functional neural networks, leading to neurological impairment and disability of varying degrees. Advances in our understanding of tumor-network integration, human cognition and language processing, and multiparametric imaging, combined with refined intraoperative tumor resection techniques, have enhanced surgical management of intrinsic brain tumors within eloquent areas. However, cognitive symptoms impacting health-related quality of life, particularly processing speed, attention, concentration, working memory, and executive function, often persist after the postoperative recovery period and treatment. Multidisciplinary cognitive rehabilitation is the standard of care for addressing cognitive impairments in many neurological diseases. There is promising research to support the use of cognitive rehabilitation in adult brain tumor patients. In this review, we summarize the history and usefulness of postacute cognitive rehabilitation for adult brain tumor patients.
