Talk:Financial toxicity

Merge with larger Cancer article and delete this page?
There's not much here, and both citations are at least co-written by the same researcher (Yousuf Zafar). It seems this is more suited to be included in the Cancer: Economic effect section of that article, and delete this page, unless this article can be improved to show it can stand on its own.

 * I have been WP:BOLD and simply redirected this to the "economic effects" section of cancer. The content, as you can see above, is probably not free, and I am always weary of a single researcher being mentioned as the prime source. Any further discussion on the impact of cancer on patients' financial situation should be added in the main article. This is even an issue in the UK, where loss of earnings and hidden costs (e.g. paid car parking in hospitals) can have a real financial impact. Not everyone can cook meth in an RV in the New Mexico desert. JFW &#124; T@lk  11:52, 24 June 2015 (UTC)


 * Thank you, I'm fairly new here, and I'll be sure to be more WP:BOLD in the future! Fuzchia (talk) 15:03, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Greetings User:Jfdwolff. It's still not much of an article, but I was looking at a source on heart disease that also used the term "financial toxicity," so I cited the source and thought it would be inappropriate to leave it as a redirect that implies to our readers that it's only a cancer-related concept. It appears the literature has now broadened its use of the term. Best wishes. Biosthmors (talk) 01:47, 12 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Further discussions on the causes of ‘Financial Toxicity’ including rising healthcare costs, insurance premiums, high deductibles, and out-of-pocket expenses should be added to the main article.
 * Also references number 6 and number 7 in the article need to be updated, the web pages are not found.208.180.239.26 (talk) 23:11, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
