This study looked at financial toxicity (FT) in glioblastoma patients who underwent craniotomy from 2020 to 2022 at a single center. Of the 74 patients studied, nearly half experienced FT, with an average medical ‘bad debt’ of $7,476. FT was more common in younger patients, those with longer hospital stays, and those who had subtotal rather than total tumor resections. This is a heartbreaking problem, and it’s why the Musella Foundation started our copayment assistance program.
