- Financial impact of a cancer diagnosis
Thursday, July 8th, 2010 -
Patients and families from every social group incur significant additional costs as a result of a cancer diagnosis. National Cancer Registry and Irish Cancer Society Ireland launch a report on the financial and economic impact of a cancer diagnosis for patients and their families in Ireland. Some of the key findings in a study undertaken by the National Cancer Registry, in partnership with the Irish Cancer Society, were that cancer patients incur many additional costs associated with their diagnosis. These include visits to consultants, GPs or other healthcare professionals, buying medications to alleviate symptoms and side effects of treatment, out-of-pocket expenses in relation to travelling to hospital appointments and increased utility bills.
