First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests the DISCO app, designed to help cancer patients talk with their doctors about treatment costs. About 254 adults newly diagnosed with breast, prostate, lung, or colorectal cancer will use the app to become more confident in asking cost-related questions. The goal is to reduce financial stress and improve communication, not to treat the cancer itself.
