Summary

Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) has been found to be efficacious in the treatment of cancer-related cognitive impairment (CRCI). Memory and Attention Adaptation Training (MAAT) has been evaluated in previous clinical trials with samples of breast cancer survivors and found effective at reducing cancer-related cognitive impairment. MAAT has been demonstrated to be efficacious when it is delivered via videoconference.The use of telehealth delivery enhances access to cancer survivorship care and reduces time and travel burden among cancer survivors, especially those who live in rural and/or underserved areas where cancer survivor services are less available.

People with a diagnosis of gastrointestinal stromal tumors also experience self-reported cancer-related cognitive impairment. In order to determine if MAAT can sufficiently treat CRCI among people with gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST), we propose a trial of MAAT to determine its initial level of effectiveness in improving both self-reported cognitive impairments and objective neuropsychological test performance in GIST patients.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

MAAT

MAAT consists of 8 weekly visits of 45 minutes duration and can be delivered effectively through videoconference technology (Vidyo). Participants will be asked to download the Vidyo App on their mobile phone or tablet. Vidyo is a HIPPA compliant, encrypted software with adequate bandwidth for highest quality videoconferencing intended for telehealth. It is the primary software for UPMC Telemedicine. Survivors are provided a workbook to reinforce learning, mastery and application of skills in daily life covered in each MAAT visit. The workbook provides reading structured within each of the 8 visits with guides for application of strategies as homework
