Study of thinking changes in young people during cancer treatment
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer, Hormones & metabolism, Immune system & allergy, Kidney & urinary, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how thinking and memory may change in children and young adults after a new cancer diagnosis, especially around chemotherapy. It may help doctors better understand and track brain-related side effects early.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are newly diagnosed with cancer (not in the brain) and plan to get chemotherapy at Rigshospitalet in Copenhagen.
- You were diagnosed between ages 7 and 29.
- A matched control participant (about the same age) can be recruited from your close social circle within 24 months of your age match (friend/partner or close family like a sibling or cousin).
- You (and any study contact as needed) can speak and understand Danish.
- You have not had chemotherapy or radiotherapy before.

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 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 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 physical activities that also require thinking (like dancing or obstacle courses) can help improve memory and problem-solving skills in children and teens undergoing cancer treatment.
This trial studies a phone or tablet brain-training program to help with “cancer-related cognitive impairment,” or thinking and memory problems that can happen during chemotherapy. If you’re newly diagnosed with certain gynecologic cancers and are receiving chemotherapy, this may help you see whether the training improves cognitive symptoms.
This trial studies how radiation therapy affects thinking and memory in adults with certain brain tumors. It may help doctors understand which patients are more likely to have cognitive side effects and how to measure them over time.
