Help Researchers Better Understand Factors Related to Memory and Concentration Problems After Cancer Treatment
Purpose of this Study:
The purpose of this study is to identify underlying factors (such as age, stress level, and quality of sleep) that may be linked to memory and concentration problems that some people experience after going through treatment for cancer. The goal is for researchers to gain a better understanding of how these factors are related in order to find solutions to reduce the negative effects of treatment.
This Study Involves:
Completing several online questionnaires about your personal wellness, such as your stress level, physical functioning, and quality of sleep
Completing a 25-minute online evaluation which will assess your memory and attention span
Providing a cheek swab sample that you can complete at home and mail back, at no cost to you
Recruiting For:
Breast cancer survivors (Stage I-IV), OR colorectal cancer survivors (Stage I-IV), who experience difficulties with memory and concentration. All participants must be at least 21 years old and have completed post-adjuvant therapy and neo-adjuvant therapy at least 6 months ago (current Aromatase Inhibitors or Tamoxifen treatment is allowed).
