Financial toxicity is an increasingly recognized challenge in cancer care, with serious impacts on patients’ emotional well-being, quality of life, and treatment outcomes. This discussion will explore how health care professionals address and tackle this problem at multiple levels, from the clinic to the health system to broader policy reform. Attendees will also learn about the Financial Toxicity Tumor Board (FTTB), an innovative model that brings together experts from across disciplines to solve real-world financial challenges patients face.
