NCT ID NCT02290834
Summary
This study aims to understand how chemotherapy affects thinking skills and brain health in older adults with breast cancer. Researchers will compare memory tests and brain scans from breast cancer patients receiving chemotherapy, those not receiving chemotherapy, and healthy volunteers. The goal is to identify who might be most at risk for 'chemo-brain' side effects and better understand how treatment impacts the brain.
