Summary

This study looks at how endocrine therapy, a common breast cancer treatment, affects thinking and brain function in 120 survivors aged 35-65. Researchers will use brain scans and memory tests to compare survivors on therapy with healthy women. The goal is to understand if menopause status plays a role in these effects.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could clarify how endocrine therapy impacts brain health, guiding better treatment decisions for breast cancer survivors.
