About this trial

Cancer-related cognitive impairment (CRCI), also known as "chemobrain," is the cognitive decline that negatively impacts the majority of cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, radiation, and/or hormonal treatments. This application focuses on evaluating if using a cognitive mobile training application can decrease the impact of CRCI in gynecologic oncology patients through a multidisciplinary approach with patients undergoing assessments by our neurocognitive team.
