Exercise program to support brain function during breast cancer chemo
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial studies whether a structured exercise program can help protect or improve thinking and memory in people with breast cancer while they are starting chemotherapy after surgery. It may help with “chemo brain” by targeting brain function during treatment.

This study tests a supervised computer-based mental exercise program to help reduce memory and thinking problems after chemotherapy. It is for people who finished chemo for early-stage breast cancer and still have bothersome mental fogginess.
This study looks at whether combining cognitive training (brain exercises) with physical exercise can help improve memory and thinking problems that some women experience after breast cancer treatment. The goal is to see if this program can boost your thinking skills and quality of life.
This study tests whether a medicine called memantine combined with a structured exercise program can help protect your thinking and memory during chemotherapy for breast cancer. It may also help understand how these treatments work in the body.
This trial studies whether a structured exercise program during pre-surgery chemotherapy can be safely done and may help people feel and function better during treatment. You may join if you have invasive breast cancer and can commit to the exercise plan while on chemotherapy.
This study tests whether supervised exercise during chemotherapy is safe and helpful for people with early-stage breast cancer. It may support physical function and well-being while you are receiving cancer treatment.
This study looks at how chemotherapy may affect memory and thinking, using thinking tests and possibly brain imaging. It compares older breast cancer patients who do and do not get chemotherapy, plus a group of healthy older adults.
