Cancer patients say no to help: study digs into why
NCT ID NCT07352579
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at why cancer patients who have needs like help with transportation, food, or housing choose not to accept support services. Researchers will survey 500 adults and interview a smaller group to understand their reasons. The goal is to improve how hospitals offer help so more patients get the assistance they need.
