Summary

This study looks at how robotic surgery for prostate, bladder, or kidney cancer affects patients' finances. Researchers will ask 120 people who had surgery in the last year to fill out questionnaires about their medical costs, travel expenses, and support needs. The goal is to understand which patients face the most financial hardship and what factors contribute to it.
