NCT ID NCT07184749

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This study will follow 100 newly diagnosed breast cancer patients in Egypt to see how chemotherapy affects their thinking, memory, and nerves. Researchers will use questionnaires and exams before treatment and one year later. The goal is to better understand these side effects in a population that hasn't been well-studied.

What this could lead to

If successful, this study could help doctors better predict and manage the cognitive and nerve side effects of chemotherapy in breast cancer patients.

What could go wrong

This is an observational study, not a treatment trial, so it won't directly improve outcomes. Results may not apply to other populations or cancer types.
