Financial toxicity, family resilience and symptom burden in liver cancer patients: a cross-sectional study

Financial toxicity is prevalent among Chinese liver cancer patients and is influenced by a complex interplay of economic, clinical, and psychosocial factors. The findings underscore that family resilience is a key buffer against financial distress, while psychological distress is a powerful amplifier. This study highlights the necessity for integrated supportive care interventions that address not only the economic but also the psychological and familial dimensions of cancer care to effectively mitigate financial toxicity.
