NCT ID NCT07175350
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study will measure financial toxicity—the financial burden of cancer treatment—in 1000 patients receiving radiotherapy. Participants will fill out questionnaires about their expenses and quality of life before, during, and after treatment. The goal is to understand how radiation therapy affects patients' finances and to identify those who may need extra support.
