This trial tests if transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), a non-invasive brain stimulation technique, can help improve mood and treatment outcomes in breast cancer patients with mild to moderate depression who are receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy before surgery.
This study looks at a non-invasive blood test to detect cancer-related “signal patterns” and see how well they match different types of cancer. It may help researchers learn better ways to find or understand cancer using less invasive testing.
