Cancer Patients at a Higher Risk of Debt or Bankruptcy

A report from Heath Report cites that working-age cancer patients and survivors have a higher risk of debt and bankruptcy. The researchers note that cancer-related costs have increased up to three times faster than other healthcare costs in the US, driving cancer therapy costs up to $60,000. A 2012 survey conducted on 4,719 cancer survivors from Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research shows that 25% had debt because of treatment-related financial burdens. Meanwhile, 3% ended up filing for bankruptcy.

In an email exchange with Reuters Health, Dr. Yousuf Zafar from the Duke Cancer Institute shares that cancer drugs are the greatest immediate cost for patients treated outside the hospital. Other medical expenses like surgeries and hospitalization could also compound to an already large bill.
