Women With Breast Cancer
The Impact of Sleep on Cancer Related Cognitive Dysfunction in Women with Breast Cancer
**This study is closed to recruitment**
Up to 50% of women with breast cancer experience sleep disturbance because of their cancer diagnosis and treatment. This study will help us to understand how sleep before, during, and after breast cancer treatment might influence the development of other side effects such as difficulty remembering things and paying attention. This information may be used to help develop targeted prevention and/or intervention programs to help other women in the future.
