Abstract

We thank Currow and Aranda1 for raising awareness about the importance of financial toxicity in their recent article. Financial toxicity — a term increasingly used in oncology — is known to not just worsen the quality of life of people affected by cancer, but in some cases, such as bankruptcy, is associated with reduced survival.2
