Summary

This study aims to understand how chemotherapy for breast cancer affects heart function, exercise capacity, and fatigue. It follows about 400 women with early-stage breast cancer and compares them to women without cancer over two years. Researchers will use heart scans, walking tests, and questionnaires to see if treatment causes lasting changes and identify which patients might be at higher risk.
