NCT ID NCT07314801
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at financial problems (called 'financial toxicity') in young adults aged 18-39 who have finished cancer treatment. Researchers will survey 300 participants to measure money stress during and after therapy, and find out what factors make it worse. The goal is to learn how to better support young survivors and reduce long-term financial harm.
