Chemotherapy and thinking changes in blood cancer treatment
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer clinical trials.
This study looks at whether chemotherapy for blood cancers like leukemia and lymphoma can affect thinking, memory, or concentration. It compares patients to a close family member or friend to see if any changes are related to the treatment.

This study examines whether a new type of cancer medication affects thinking, memory, and focus in people with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) or chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Researchers will compare people starting this medication with healthy volunteers to understand any changes.
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.
This study looks at whether treatments that boost the immune system to fight blood cancers might affect thinking and memory. Researchers will track cognitive (thinking and memory) changes in patients receiving cell-based or antibody-based immunotherapies to understand any side effects and help future patients.
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 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.
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.
