Who this trial is looking for

This trial is looking for women aged 60 to 80 who are either breast cancer survivors or healthy volunteers without a history of cancer. Participants will complete tests to compare cognitive functions like memory and attention.

About This Trial
The purpose of this study is to look at how differences in cognitive (mental) function develop over time in breast cancer survivors compared to volunteers without a history of cancer (healthy volunteers). Both cancer survivors and healthy volunteers (who are the same age as the cancer survivors) will participate in this study so the researchers can compare the results of neurocognitive testing (wh…
