2024年10月28日，星期一——根据10月19日至22日在旧金山举行的美国外科医师学会年会上提出的两项研究，许多被诊断患有癌症的患者经历了持久的经济困难。波士顿贝思女执事医学中心的医学博士豪尔赫·戈麦斯·马约尔加（JorgeL.GomezMayorga）及其同事进行了差异差异分析，比较了99175名癌症患者和188875名对照者，以检查癌症诊断后的财务结果。

The researchers found that patients with cancer experienced increases in total collections, medical collections, and bankruptcy rates compared with controls, as well as decreases in credit scores. A decline in credit score was seen for survivors of bladder, liver, ovarian, colorectal, and lung cancers, which persisted for years after diagnosis, compared with a gradual increase in credit score seen in the control population.Anastasia Bogdanovski, M.D., from Beth Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, and colleagues examined factors associated with financial toxicity in colorectal cancer patients in Massachusetts.

。膀胱癌，肝癌，卵巢癌，结直肠癌和肺癌幸存者的信用评分下降，诊断后持续数年，而对照人群的信用评分逐渐增加。波士顿贝丝女执事医学中心的医学博士阿纳斯塔西娅·博格达诺夫斯基（AnastasiaBogdanovski）及其同事研究了与马萨诸塞州结直肠癌患者财务毒性相关的因素。

The outcome credit score was assessed over time. Data were included for 7,227 colorectal cancer patients with median financial follow-up of 5.3 years. The researchers found that the mean credit score was 716 points, with significant variation seen in points: −11 for younger than 62 years; −78 and −62 for Black and Hispanic race, respectively; −28 for unmarried; −14 for Area Deprivation Index below median; −5 for nonhomeowner; −18 for income below median of $52,000; and −10 and −7 for distant or regional disease, respectively.

随着时间的推移评估结果信用评分。数据包括7227名结直肠癌患者，中位财务随访时间为5.3年。研究人员发现，平均学分为716分，分数差异很大：62岁以下为-11分；-黑人和西班牙裔种族分别为78和-62；-未婚者28；-14表示面积剥夺指数低于中位数；-5对于非房主；-；远处或区域性疾病分别为-10和-7。

Notable disparities were observed among cancer and treatment types.'Further research is needed, but I think financial security should be a priority in canc.
