Improving Treatment Cost Discussions Between Cancer Patients and Their Oncologists: Feasibility and Utilization of an Application-based Question Prompt List

The overall goal of this research is to reduce financial toxicity related to the cost of
cancer treatment in a diverse patient population. The research tests the feasibility of an
application-based ("app") communication intervention designed to improve the frequency and
quality of patient-oncologist treatment cost discussions during clinical interactions, which,
in turn, should improve other short- and longer-term patient outcomes, including referrals to
economic support (e.g., social work); efficacy in managing treatment cost; treatment cost
distress; financial toxicity; and treatment adherence. If successful, this study will result
in an evidence-based tool that can reduce financial toxicity and improve medical outcomes for
a diverse patient population.
