Chemo's hidden toll: study reveals how age changes recovery from breast cancer treatment
NCT ID NCT01030250
Summary
This study aims to understand how standard chemotherapy after breast cancer surgery affects women differently based on age. Researchers followed 238 women—some over 65 and some younger—tracking their physical function, overall health, and quality of life from before chemotherapy until six months after treatment ended. The goal is to learn what factors beyond just age (like fitness, other health conditions, or support systems) predict who struggles most with treatment side effects.
