Read our Breast Cancer research guide →This trial investigates whether chemotherapy for breast cancer causes your body to age faster at a cellular level. Researchers will measure special proteins in your blood that reflect how old your organs are, and compare these measurements between patients who receive chemotherapy and those who don't. The goal is to better understand long-term side effects of cancer treatment so doctors can protect patients in the future.
Chemotherapy saves lives, but it can have lasting effects on the body—including making organs age faster. Some research suggests this accelerated aging may increase the risk of heart problems, brain issues, and other serious conditions years after treatment ends. This study aims to understand and measure these aging effects so doctors can eventually find ways to prevent or reduce them.

If you join this study, you'll be placed in one of two groups: those receiving chemotherapy as part of their cancer treatment, or those not receiving chemotherapy. All participants will have blood samples drawn at different time points to measure proteins that indicate how your organs are aging. The study team will track these measurements over time to see how treatment affects aging markers, though the exact number and timing of visits will depend on the study protocol.
