Study of memory and thinking in early breast cancer
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study checks how breast cancer affects memory and thinking before other treatments start. It may help doctors better understand cognitive changes and who is most at risk.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have primary breast cancer that is stage I or stage II
- You are premenopausal (still having periods)

- You must be able to do brain/mind questionnaires and tasks during the study
- If you could become pregnant, you must use highly effective birth control during the study

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
This study looks at how chemotherapy may affect thinking and memory in people with HER2-negative breast cancer. It uses brain scans during or after chemotherapy to understand these changes and potentially guide support in the future.
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 looks at cognitive (thinking and memory) changes in people with colorectal cancer who start certain chemotherapy drugs. It aims to understand how treatment affects the brain and may guide better monitoring or support during care.
This trial tests whether taking a special blend of prebiotics and synbiotics (friendly bacteria and food for them) can help prevent or reduce memory and thinking problems that sometimes happen during chemotherapy for breast cancer.
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.
