Description

STANFORD UNIVERSITY RESEARCH Brain Health After Breast Cancer Chemotherapy Breast cancer chemotherapy may impact memory, attention, processing speed, multitasking, and problem-solving. The goal of this National Cancer Institute study is to improve our understanding of these difficulties and try to identify women who are at the highest risk for having them. We are looking for women who are ages 35-68 and are free of any MRI contraindications (e.g. implants, tissue expanders) and: who are newly diagnosed with Breast Cancer (stages I-IIIA) who: • have not started but are scheduled for adjuvant/neoadjuvant chemotherapy OR who are Breast Cancer (stages I-IIIA) survivors who: • have completed chemotherapy treatment (and any other cancer-specific treatments such as cancer surgery, radiation, immune therapy) at least one month ago Participation involves two study visits approximately 12-18 months apart. Each visit will take about 2.5 hours and includes: • Brain MRI scan at the Stanford Lucas Center for imaging • Cognitive testing and questionnaires completed online You will receive an honorarium of $75 for your completion of each study visit.
