Financial Toxicity in Breast Cancer Surgery (NCT05104632)
Financial Toxicity in Surgical Breast Cancer Patients: A Prospective, Multicenter Cohort Study
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The purpose of this study is to evaluate financial toxicity, or financial harm, in breast cancer patients. The study will follow patients throughout their cancer treatment. The study investigators will measure if patients are experiencing financial toxicity and if it changes throughout treatment, and whether it's associated with different cancers, treatments, or demographics. Also, the study investigators will measure if financial toxicity impacts other areas of life (e.g., well-being, satisfaction). Finally, patients will be asked to estimate how much money they expect to spend on out-of-pocket expenses during their treatment and how their finances and employment status have changed since their cancer diagnosis.
