摘要
Cancer clinical trials are vital to improving cancer care, but participation may add an additional financial burden for individuals and families already struggling to bear the high cost of cancer care. Finding sustainable ways to reduce financial toxicity, particularly for low- and middle-income patients, may help to improve clinical trial recruitment and retention.
