About The Study: In this cross-sectional study, approximately 50% of cancer survivors experienced cancer-related financial hardship, with a disproportionate number of survivors who were younger, were Medicare or Medicaid beneficiaries, were socioeconomically disadvantaged, and had advanced disease.
Social vulnerability was independently associated with increasing levels of financial hardship, emphasising the central role one’s community may play in cancer survivorship and the compounding financial detriments of residing in a socially vulnerable community.
