Summary
RATIONALE: Learning about the long-term effects of chemotherapy and radiation therapy on brain function may help doctors plan cancer treatments. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is looking at the neurological effects of chemotherapy and radiation therapy in patients with colon cancer.
Detailed description
OBJECTIVES: Primary * Identify the nature and long-term ramifications of CNS injury as a result of cancer treatment in patients with colon cancer. Secondary * Analyze differences in cognitive measures and MRI data in these patients. * Correlate MRI measures with cognitive performance in these patients. OUTLINE: Patients undergo cognitive performance assessment and MRI. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 42 patients will be accrued for this study.
