NCT04169542

RecruitingN/A

Sponsor: M.D. Anderson Cancer Center

Conditions: Breast Ductal Carcinoma In Situ, COVID-19 Infection, Hereditary Breast Carcinoma, Invasive Breast Carcinoma

Interventions: Questionnaire Administration

Countries: United States

This study investigates the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on out-of-pocket costs, lost wages, and unemployment in patients with breast cancer undergoing breast surgery. Post-mastectomy reconstructive patients are at high risk for financial toxicity (adverse effects of escalating health care cost on well-being). The goal of this study is to collect information about financial costs patients may have as a result of surgical treatment for cancer with or without breast reconstruction and to learn if COVID-19 affects patient costs of breast reconstruction. This may help researchers demonstrate the financial consequences of undergoing breast surgery.
