Summary
This study tests whether a personalized support program led by a nurse can help prevent memory and thinking problems that often occur after chemotherapy in women with non-metastatic breast cancer. Fifty women will receive regular face-to-face and telephone interviews over 9 months. The main goal is to see if the program is feasible, not yet if it works.

Active substance
personalized support program by a nurse (face-to-face and telephone interviews)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a practical way to help breast cancer patients avoid or reduce cognitive problems after chemotherapy, improving their quality of life.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early feasibility study with only 50 participants and no control group. It cannot prove the program works, only that it might be possible to run a larger trial.
