Breast Cancer Clinical Trial

Structural and Functional Imaging and Cognitive Functions in Ovarian Cancer

Summary

The purpose of this study is to learn about possible changes in brain anatomy and function, and in thinking abilities, such as memory skills, in patients with ovarian cancer who receive treatment with chemotherapy. Cancer patients treated with chemotherapy may experience changes in thinking abilities, and these may interfere with quality of life. Most of the research to date has involved patients with breast cancer, and there are no studies in women with ovarian cancer looking at at treatment-related changes in brain anatomy and function.
