Are you concerned about memory and thinking difficulties after cancer treatment? You are not alone!

Thinking and memory difficulties are the second most common symptom of cancer patients after treatment. These symptoms can last years after treatment, interfering with everyday life and causing stress. Our current line of research seeks to develop a group-based memory skills workshop to help cancer survivors experiencing difficulties with memory and thinking abilities.

Ongoing Studies //

Cognitive Rehabilitation in Cancer Survivors

Participation in our current study on cognitive rehabilitation in cancer survivors includes:

Taking paper-and-pencil as well as computer-based memory tests that are designed to evaluate your memory, attention, and other thinking abilities.

Completing questionnaires designed to evaluate mood and quality of life

7 group-based memory skills workshop sessions that include learning new skills that may improve your memory and thinking abilities. In addition, you can network and connect with other cancer survivors that may be experiencing similar struggles.

Recruitment

We are currently recruiting participants who:

Have undergone treatment for cancer (i.e. chemotherapy, radiation, surgery, etc.) more than six months ago

Are experiencing problems with memory, attention, and other thinking abilities

Neuroimaging in Survivors of Breast & Gynecologic Cancers

In conjunction with our cognitive rehabilitation study, we are seeking to better understand changes in the brain as a result of cognitive rehabilitation. Survivors of breast and gynelogic cancers, were treated with chemotherapy, and qualify for our cognitive rehabilitation study have the unique opportunity to undergo a fMRI before and after our workshops.
