Study Review
Researchers at Stanford University are investigating whether brain-training exercises can improve brain functioning in breast cancer survivors who were treated with chemotherapy and are having problems with memory, concentration, multitasking, and other similar skills. They turned to the Army of Women (AOW) to enroll up to 130 volunteers who lived near Stanford, in Palo Alto, Calif. The Call to Action for this study was sent to AOW members on May 28, 2014. The researchers closed enrollment on July 2, 2014, after the AOW provided them with 167 women who were interested in enrolling in the study.
