一项研究将癌症诊断后的财务压力与较高的死亡风险联系起来,而不受疾病的影响。 A study links financial strain after cancer diagnosis to higher death risk, independent of the disease.

在2025年美国外科医生学会会议上提出的一项新的研究发现,以癌症诊断后信用分数下降来衡量的金融毒性增加了死亡风险,与癌症本身无关。 A new study presented at the American College of Surgeons’ 2025 meeting finds that financial toxicity—measured by a drop in credit score after a cancer diagnosis—increases the risk of death, independent of the cancer itself. 研究人员分析了2010年至2019年期间诊断出近42 500名麻省病人的数据,发现18个月内双层信贷下降使死亡风险上升了29%,每层下降与高死亡率相关联。 Analyzing data from nearly 42,500 Massachusetts patients diagnosed between 2010 and 2019, researchers found that a two-tier credit drop within 18 months raised mortality risk by 29%, with each tier drop linked to higher death rates. 财政紧张在低收入、青年、少数民族和政府保险的患者中更为常见,可能导致不服药的治疗和药物中断,结果恶化。 Financial strain, more common among lower-income, younger, minority, and publicly insured patients, can lead to skipped treatments and medication non-adherence, worsening outcomes. 专家们强调,财政压力直接影响生存,并建议将病人与财务导航员联系起来,以便获得支助。 Experts stress that financial stress directly impacts survival and recommend connecting patients with financial navigators to access support. 调查结果是初步的,等待同行审议。 Findings are preliminary and await peer review.
