First seen Jan 28, 2026 · Last updated May 12, 2026 · Updated 12 times
Summary
This study looks at whether chemotherapy for early-stage breast cancer speeds up aging in organs like the heart and brain. Researchers will measure specific proteins and cell changes in blood samples from 80 women before and after treatment. The goal is to identify patients at higher risk for long-term side effects, such as heart problems or memory loss, and to find ways to prevent them.
