About this trial

This study is a monocentric, observational, cross-sectional study with a case-control design, aimed at evaluating the construct validity, discriminative ability, and diagnostic accuracy of a second-level neuropsychological test battery for the detection of cancer-related cognitive impairment in breast cancer survivors.

Eligibility criteria

This trial accepts healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Age between 18 and 65 years old

Patient with a previous documented diagnosis of non-metastatic breast cancer (only for breast cancer survivor gruop)

Patient has completed chemotherapy for at least 6 months and for a maximum of 36 months if planned (only for breast cancer survivor gruop)

Understanding of the Italian language and ability to give informed consent

Presence of brain metastases or history of brain radiation therapy (only for breast cancer survivor gruop)

Patient with previous diagnosis of other malignant tumors in addition to breast cancer (only for breast cancer survivor gruop)

Patient with a previous diagnosis of malignant carcinomas (only for control gruop)

Patient with a history of brain damage with unresolved neurological consequences

Trial population

Female breast cancer survivors (N = 100) will be recruited at the European Institute of Oncology (IEO) while, female non-cancer controls (N = 100) will be recruited though an invitation to participate in the study, accompanied by a brief description of its objectives and procedures, that will be disseminated via social media groups, word of mouth and breast cancer patient associations.
