Out-of-pocket spending continues to increase, particularly in cancer care. High out-of-pocket expenditures are associated with increased psychosocial distress, lower adherence, and higher mortality. In order to improve cancer-related outcomes, we must come up with interventions directed at reducing cancer-related financial toxicity. In this article, we highlight the most promising interventions.
自付费用持续增加，尤其是在癌症治疗方面。高额自付费用与心理社会困扰增加、依从性降低和死亡率升高有关。为了改善与癌症相关的结果，我们必须提出旨在减少癌症相关经济毒性的干预措施。在本文中，我们重点介绍了最有前景的干预措施。
