| Core Tip |
Delirium affects up to 88% of critically ill cancer patients, increasing intensive care units (ICU) mortality tenfold and making post-discharge treatment discontinuation four times more likely. This review introduces the “double burden” of ICU delirium superimposed on chemotherapy-related cognitive impairment, creating unique survivorship challenges. Cancer-specific vulnerabilities include chemotherapy neurotoxicity, central nervous system malignancy, and chimeric antigen receptor T-associated neurotoxicity. Evidence favors non-pharmacologic prevention, with early mobilization reducing delirium by 47%. Delirium thus extends beyond transient confusion to a key determinant of cancer survivorship, potentially transforming ICU admission into a treatment-limiting event. |
