Vascular and Cognitive Assessments in Patients With Breast Cancer Undergoing Chemotherapy After Surgery
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Cognitive/Functional Effects, Recurrent Breast Cancer, Stage IA Breast Cancer, Stage IB Breast Cancer, Stage II Breast Cancer, Stage IIIA Breast Cancer, Stage IIIB Breast Cancer, Stage IIIC Breast Cancer
In brief
This clinical trial studies vascular and cognitive assessments in patients with breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy after surgery. Learning about vascular and cognitive function may help plan treatment and improve the quality of life of breast cancer patients. Transcranial Doppler ultrasound (TCD) may help study the side effects of chemotherapy in breast cancer patients and allow doctors to plan better treatment
