Summary

This study looks at whether providing food assistance—like food boxes and produce vouchers—helps cancer patients who struggle with food insecurity stay on track with their treatment. Researchers will compare patients who receive six months of food support to those who get standard care referrals. The goal is to see if food assistance improves treatment adherence and health outcomes.
