Financial toxicity in patients with newly diagnosed hepatocellular carcinoma: a cross-sectional study
Among patients with newly-diagnosed HCC, significantly higher patient-reported FT is associated with younger age, Hispanic ethnicity, non-English primary language, lack of employment, less completed education, no plan for surgical treatment, and worse QOL. The study cohort is being longitudinally followed to assess the course of self-reported FT over 1-year follow-up and its associations with treatment adherence and survival.
