Summary

This study checks if a new set of thinking and memory tests can better detect cognitive problems in breast cancer survivors who had chemotherapy. Researchers will compare results from 200 survivors and healthy volunteers to see if the tests are accurate. The goal is to improve diagnosis of cancer-related cognitive impairment, often called 'chemo brain'.
