First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 09, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study is testing a web-based tool called CARE that gives cancer patients information about treatment costs, health insurance, and financial resources. About 430 adults with gynecologic, prostate, lung, or colorectal cancer will use the tool to see if it helps them feel more confident managing expenses and navigating insurance. The goal is to reduce financial stress and help patients get the care they need.
