The University of Missouri System, doing business as Curators of the University of Missouri, received a $402,401 Project Grant award from the National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.395 - Cancer Treatment Research) to pilot test a metacognitive strategy training (MCST) intervention to address cancer-related cognitive impairment in breast cancer survivors. The goal is to reduce the functional impact of cognitive deficits and improve quality of life for women treated for breast cancer. The study will evaluate the feasibility and impact of MCST on cognitive performance, frontoparietal neural circuitry, and task-based brain activation in a randomized controlled trial of 50 participants. Successful completion of this pilot study could lead to a clinically feasible intervention to improve cognition and activity performance in individuals with cancer-related cognitive impairment, prepared for larger-scale efficacy testing.
