Thinking and memory changes in older breast cancer survivors
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study looks at how thinking and memory changes as you age, and whether having had breast cancer affects those changes. You will do computer tasks and answer questions to help researchers understand the connection between aging, breast cancer treatment, and cognitive health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
