The Brain REST study will hopefully help research scientists understand the effect of chemotherapy on brain function in breast cancer hosts.
The study seeks to investigate the mechanisms of Brain RESilience to Cancer Therapy (REST). Our aim is to discover whether breast cancer patients who receive chemotherapy are at risk for developing problems thinking, learning, remembering or making decisions.
There is NO cost to participate and participants may be compensated up to $240 for their time.
The study is currently recruiting women who:
- are ages 18 or older;
- have received chemotherapy for breast cancer in the past four years;
- have no current diagnosis of any neurological disorders.
The study involves two visits to the Brain Imaging Research Center for cognitive tests to measure brain function and a brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan. The estimated amount of time for each visit is three hours. Participants will receive parking vouchers for each visit.
