Nearly three out of four survivors experience Cancer-Related Cognitive Impairment (CRCI) for months or years following treatment. Both clinical and animal studies point to the hippocampus as a likely brain region affected in CRCI, however no previous study has investigated the functional connectivity of the hippocampus in CRCI. We compared hippocampal connectivity in cancer survivors and healthy controls and tested the relationship between functional connectivity differences and measures of objective and subjective cognition. Exploratory analysis of inflammatory markers was conducted in a small subset of participants as well. FMRI data were acquired during a memory task from 16 breast cancer survivors and 17 controls. The NIH Toolbox was used to assess cognitive performance and Neuro-QoL was used to measure self-reported cognitive concerns. Whole-brain group-level comparisons identified clusters with different connectivity to the hippocampus in survivors versus controls during task. Average connectivity was extracted from clusters of significant difference between the groups and correlated with cognitive performance and subjective report. Survivors performed worse on a test of episodic memory and reported greater cognitive concern than controls. Exploratory analysis found higher IL6 in cancer survivors compared to controls. Cancer survivors demonstrated higher connectivity of hippocampus with left cuneus, left lingual, left precuneus, and right middle prefrontal gyrus compared with controls. In survivors, higher task-related hippocampal-cortical connectivity was related to worse subjective measures of cognitive concern. Of the four significant clusters, higher connectivity of the precuneus with hippocampus was significantly associated with worse cognitive concern in survivors. The observed greater hippocampal-cortical connectivity in survivors compared to controls is the first reported fMRI biomarker of subjective concern, and may represent a compensatory response to cancer and its treatments. This compensation could explain, in part, the subjective feelings of cognitive impairment that were reported by survivors. Cancer survivors performed worse on a test of episodic memory and reported greater cognitive concern than controls Cancer survivors demonstrated significantly higher hippocampal-cortical connectivity Higher functional connectivity was associated with worse self-reported cognitive functioning in cancer survivors
