Purpose

This study examines whether there are differences in brain health or well-being in patients receiving TKI therapy for leukemia compared to individuals who do not receive TKI therapy.

Conditions

  • Disease/Condition Name Cancer-related Cognitive Dysfunction
  • Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL)
  • Chronic Myeloid Leukemia, BCR-ABL1 Positive

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. Characterize differences in subjective CRCI longitudinally among patients receiving TKIs for CML or CLL. OUTLINE: This is an observational study. Participants are assigned to 1 of 2 groups. GROUP I: TKI recipients complete surveys, undergo cognitive assessments, undergo saliva sample collection, and have their medical records reviewed on study. GROUP II: Cancer-free individuals complete surveys, undergo cognitive assessments, undergo saliva sample collection, and have their medical records reviewed on study.
