Association between time to treatment and financial toxicity among women with breast cancer in Ethiopia: a multicentre study in a low-resource setting
Financial toxicity is evident in Ethiopian women with breast cancer, particularly among those with lower socioeconomic status. Longer TTI is associated with higher financial toxicity. These findings highlight the limited role of the current health insurance arrangement in addressing the level and inequality of financial toxicity associated with breast cancer care in Ethiopia.
