Study of Economic Circumstances, Service Utilization, and Service Needs Among Older Colon Cancer Patients

Completed

Conditions studied: Colon Cancer

In brief

The purpose of this study is to learn more about the social and financial impact of colon cancer for older patients. We want to know how cancer has affected the patient financially and socially, and to know if the patient has resource needs that have gone unmet. By doing this study, we hope to learn about resources that can reduce the financial burden from cancer.
