Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Owing to the recent progress of anticancer drug and therapy researches, cancer- and/or cancer treatment-related psychiatric dysfunction (emotional and cognitive dysfunction) has been emerging as new therapeutic targets. However, little studies have been done to disclose the mechanisms underlying the dysfunction. In this study, novel animal models satisfying the face validity of cancer patients and cancer survivors were established, and a part of the molecular mechanisms underlying the emotional and cognitive dysfunction of these model animals were disclosed. This study provides various fundamental findings that could contribute to the proposal of novel medication for the cancer-related psychiatric dysfunction.
