Mild Cognitive Impairment in Breast Cancer Patients (HippoPCI)
Hippocampal Predictors of Cognitive Impairment (HippoPCI) in Breast Cancer Patients
Study Overview
Status
Conditions
Detailed Description
This study aims to identify neuroimaging biomarkers for predicting mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in breast cancer patients receiving adjuvant chemo and/or hormonal therapy by examining hippocampal-cortical neurocircuitry. Adjuvant therapies increase long-term survival, but produce changes in cognitive function in 30% (up to 70%) of women on average with breast cancer. Cognitive decline negatively impacts quality of life in patients and their supporters. Therefore, early identification of patients at risk for developing treatment-related cognitive impairment is needed to develop potential prevention or treatment options and prevent further decline. Our recent work demonstrates that patients receiving adjuvant hormonal treatment exhibit decline in cognition as soon as three months post treatment. Although neuroimaging studies have identified brain changes associated with chemotherapy ("chemo brain", no investigation has assessed the type and severity of such changes following hormonal therapy, nor has any study determined which individuals are at greatest risk for cognitive impairment.
Our central hypothesis is that measures of the hippocampal-cortical integrity can be used to predict cognitive decline, and changes of specific domains of cognitive performance in patients receiving adjuvant therapy over time will be related to changes in specific components of this circuitry over time.

Sampling Method
Study Population
Participants will be recruited from the following sites, all affiliated with Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (NUFSM): a) outpatient facility at Galter Pavilion of Northwestern Medicine; b) Maggie Daley Center for Women's Cancer Care at Prentice Women's Hospital; and c) Lynn Sage Comprehensive Breast Cancer Center at Prentice Women's Hospital.
Participants will also be recruited a) via advertisement in local newspapers, craigslist, Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center (RHLCC) Cancer Survivorship Institute website, and at community programs that serve cancer patients, including hospitals and support groups; and b) from community educational events sponsored by RHLCC, Women's Health Research Institute, and Cognitive Neurology and Alzheimer's Disease Center (CNADC).
Description
Inclusion Criteria:
- Female, within the age range of 40-70
- HT Patients - any stage of breast cancer without brain metastasis, will undergo hormonal therapy without chemotherapy
- CT and HT Patients - any stage of breast cancer without brain metastasis, will undergo chemotherapy and hormonal therapy
- CT Patients - any stage of breast cancer without brain metastasis, has undergone surgery prior to screening, will undergo chemotherapy without hormonal therapy
- RT or NT Patients - any stage of breast cancer without brain metastasis, will not undergo chemotherapy or hormonal therapy; may undergo radiation therapy or have no therapy
- Controls - cognitively normal on the basis of annual neuropsychological and research neurological examinations done as part of the Uniform Data Set (UDS), of the NIA Alzheimer's Disease Centers (ADC) program, recruited from the NU CNADC Clinical Core.
- All subjects must have given signed, informed consent prior to registration on study.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Individuals who report significant medical, neurologic, or psychiatric illness, including but not limited to:
- Major depression

- ADHD
- Autism
- Alzheimer's disease
- Dementia
- Obsessive-compulsive disorder
- Post-traumatic stress disorder
- Individuals with an Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology - Self Report (IDS-SR) score of 30 or higher, since this level of depression could affect cognitive test performance.
