Financial toxicity is more than costs of care: the relationship between employment and financial toxicity in long-term cancer survivors

ConclusionsThis research confirms that unemployment is significantly associated with financial toxicity and that those with limited financial resources are most at risk.Implications for cancer survivorsIncreased awareness of financial toxicity and its associated factors among clinicians may result in improved screening and appropriate referrals for support services. The implementation of effective multidisciplinary return to work interventions, as part of standard cancer survivorship care, may reduce financial toxicity among cancer survivors.
