First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a training program that teaches breast cancer survivors with memory and concentration problems (brain fog) strategies to improve daily tasks and quality of life. About 50 women who finished cancer treatment 6 months to 3 years ago will participate. The goal is to see if the training is practical and helps with thinking, daily activities, and brain function.
