Medical crowdfunding for cancer patients seeking fertility treatments: a cross-sectional analysis
Patients with cancer who desire or require fertility treatments often face tremendous financial and social difficulties. Our results suggest a higher financial burden on patients with cancer in Southern and Western states, despite being less likely to reach financial goals or obtain as much social support as Northeastern counterparts. Overall, the majority of campaigns did not meet their financial goals.
