Abstract
Abstract People with cancer spend more out of pocket for medical care than others with chronic diseases, a pattern that persists years after initial cancer diagnosis and treatment. Patients and their families are at risk for financial toxicity including problems paying medical bills, increased stress and/or symptom burden, and delaying or forgoing care due to costs. In this talk, Dr. Fumiko Chino provides an overview of financial toxicity in cancer care and its real-life impact on people with cancer. Factors contributing to financial toxicity are addressed as well potential solutions. 1. Define financial toxicity as a negative consequence of cancer diagnosis/treatment 2. Describe effects of financial toxicity on quality of life, adherence, and outcomes 3. Name potential solutions to financial toxicity on a health system, provider, and patient level Citation Format: Fumiko Chino. Financial toxicity [abstract].
