Conditions

Summary

This fully, powered efficacy RCT, the MIND diet for Breast Cancer Cognition (MIND-BC), will evaluate the MIND diet in a rigorous, highly controlled academic cancer center. We will recruit breast cancer survivors reporting CRCI with a MIND diet score \< 8, based on a previously devised 14-item diet questionnaire designed to detect inadequate diet with respect to brain health (scores range from 0 to 14, with lower scores indicating a less adequate diet).14 Breast cancer survivors will have recently completed adjuvant treatment (i.e., 6 months to three years previously), to ensure that perceived cognitive impairment is likely chronic and due to cancer. To achieve maximal effect, the study consists of two 12-week phases 1) intervention phase, 2) maintenance phase.
