Study of thinking changes after chemotherapy for breast cancer
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
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 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 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.
This study tests whether brain stimulation plus cognitive training can improve thinking and memory problems in women after chemotherapy for breast cancer. It may help if you still feel “foggy” or have trouble concentrating months after treatment.
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 how chemotherapy may affect thinking, memory, and emotions in women with breast cancer. It follows patients to understand these changes over time.
This study looks at changes in thinking and brain function in people with early to locally advanced breast cancer before and during chemotherapy. You may also be offered a brain MRI in a separate optional part of the research to learn more about brain changes.
