NCT ID NCT07281287
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study explores how a program that helps cancer patients with money problems (like paying for treatment or basic needs) affects their stress, quality of life, and emotional health. Researchers will look at data from about 40 patients and staff at a cancer clinic. The goal is to understand what works best and what barriers exist to offering this kind of financial support.
