Financial toxicity associated with cancer treatment is increasingly recognized as a significant barrier to quality care, with numerous studies demonstrating this association in solid tumors and blood cancers. With the advent of advanced and targeted therapeutics, long-term survival trends for many hematologic malignancies have seen dramatic increases over the last decade. Often, patients and survivors continue to require chronic maintenance therapies or follow-up outpatient visits, leading to financial burden and toxicity over time.
Over the last few years, studies investigating financial toxicity associated with hematologic malignancies have started moving away from descriptive studies to interventional approaches. The purpose of this Poster Walk is to highlight the timely and interesting studies in this area of high importance to patients with hematologic malignancies, with significant implications in the domains of quality of life, quality of care, and health policy.
The following abstracts will be featured in this session:
Financial Toxicity and Associated Patient-Reported Quality of Life in Plasma Cell Disorders, Walker Schmidt
Productivity Loss and Indirect Costs Among Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Patients and Their Caregivers, Asher Chanan-Khan
