Thinking and memory in older women with ovarian cancer
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Hormones & metabolism, Mental health, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how cancer and its treatment might affect thinking, memory, and confusion in women aged 70 and older with ovarian cancer. The goal is to understand who is at higher risk, so doctors can provide better care and support.
