Article Synopsis
- The study explores how financial stress changes over time for patients with early-stage colorectal cancer, indicating that their financial situation is dynamic.
- Conducted between May 2018 and July 2020, the research involved English-speaking adults newly diagnosed with stages I to III colorectal cancer and tracked their financial hardship through surveys at different intervals over 24 months.
- Results showed a decrease in material hardship from 57.6% to 35.0% over the study period, while cost-related care nonadherence remained stable; factors such as lower financial worry, higher education, and older age were linked to less nonadherence.
Importance: The longitudinal experience of patients is critical to the development of interventions to identify and reduce financial hardship.
Objective: To evaluate financial hardship over 12 months in patients with newly diagnosed colorectal cancer (CRC) undergoing curative-intent therapy.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This prospective, longitudinal cohort study was conducted between May 2018 and July 2020, with time points over 12 months.
