Dr Veena Shankaran Discusses Patient-Level Cancer Economics

Most of the research in cancer economics has been on total cost and cost effectiveness, which is why Veena Shankaran MD, MS, assistant professor in the division of medical oncology at the University of Washington, wanted to have a panel discussion on financial toxicity at the ISPOR 20th Annual Meeting.

The goal of the talk was to present strategies to measure financial burden and how to decrease the financial burden.
