Cognitive Aging in Older Long-term Breast Cancer Survivors
Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center

Both cancer survivors and healthy volunteers (who are the same age as the cancer survivors) will participate in this study so the researchers can compare the results of neurocognitive testing (which looks at memory, attention, and information processing) on each group of participants.
