In our critical review of the literature, we explored cognitive functioning after specific extracranial solid tumor and lymphoma diagnoses, discussed possible associated risk factors, highlighted research gaps, and provided clinical guidance for affected survivors.Knowledge GeneratedExisting studies suggest that survivors of osteosarcoma, neuroblastoma, Wilms tumor, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma, and Langerhans cell histiocytosis have increased risk of cognitive impairment. Co-morbid health conditions were frequently associated with cognition.RelevanceGiven the older age at diagnosis of many childhood extracranial solid tumors and lymphomas as well as toxicities associated with certain therapies, patients may benefit from vocational services, occupational therapy, physical therapy, and/or hearing or visual rehabilitation in addition to surveillance for cognitive difficulties.AUTHOR CONTRIBUTIONSConception and design: Rebecca Foster, Kelli L.
