简要总结
This trial studies the severity of financial distress in advanced cancer patients. The cost of cancer care can often be very expensive. Financial distress from the burdens of high costs and debt may interfere with a patient's physical symptoms and quality of life.
详细描述
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine the frequency of high financial distress in advanced cancer patients.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine the association between high financial distress with clinical and demographic characteristics in advanced cancer patients.
II. To determine the correlation between In Charge Financial Distress/ Financial Well-Being Scale (IFDFW) and other financial distress instruments such as Comprehensive Score for Financial Toxicity-Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy (COST-FACIT) and Edmonton Symptom Assessment Scale- Financial Distress (ESAS-FS).
