Addressing Financial Toxicity in Cancer Care: The Role of Tumor Boards
2025-02-03 14:00 - 15:00 (America/Chicago) | Webinar
Addressing Financial Toxicity in Cancer Care: The Role of Tumor Boards
Cancer treatment often involves not just physical and emotional challenges but significant financial burdens for patients and their families. Financial toxicity—the strain of high medical costs and out-of-pocket expenses—can directly impact a patient’s ability to adhere to treatment plans, leading to worse outcomes.
Presenter: Greg Knight, MD | Atrium Health Levine Cancer Center (Charlotte, NC)
Bio: Dr. Knight is a clinical leukemia and bone marrow transplant physician at Atrium Health Levine Cancer in Charlotte, NC, and an Associate Professor in the Department of Internal Medicine at the Wake Forest University School of Medicine. He is an experienced health services researcher with a focus on health equity and the financial toxicity of cancer care. Notably, he is the cofounder and currently serves as the Chair of the Atrium Health Levine Cancer Financial Toxicity Tumor Board. His primary research centers on financial toxicity in patients (financial hardship due to the cost of cancer treatment) and on developing interventional models to help address this issue. He is chair of the Financial Toxicity Tumor Board at Levine Cancer Institute, which provides support to patients.
