Researchers want to understand how much financial stress patients have and how it affects their quality of life. They will collect information from your electronic health records and ask you to complete questionnaires.

The study aims to understand the prevalence and severity of financial toxicity, identify risk factors, and see how different characteristics might worsen financial stress. The study plans to enroll 100 participants, but its current status is unclear.
