Money stress and cancer: new study tests if monthly screening eases the burden
NCT ID NCT06963723
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether asking people with advanced cancer about their financial struggles each month can help reduce their worry and improve their quality of life. About 1,000 adults receiving treatment for advanced or metastatic cancer will be randomly assigned to either monthly digital financial hardship screening or usual care. The goal is to see if this simple check-in can make a real difference in how patients feel and cope.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could show that regularly checking in on patients' financial struggles helps reduce their worry and improve their quality of life during cancer treatment.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively early-stage study focused on screening, not a direct treatment. It may not lead to clear improvements, and results might not apply to all cancer patients or settings.
