The Financial Burden of Cancer in the United States

Abstract:
In the United States, chronic health conditions are commonly associated with financial burden and resultant financial toxicity. Although the problem is widespread, financial burden is not evenly distributed in the United States. Cancer survivors are more commonly affected and report a greater than 50% prevalence of financial burden. Race, sex, age, income, and insurance status are also predictors of financial burden. This article will examine financial toxicity through the lens of thyroid cancer, describe the magnitude of the problem, explore the etiologies and consequences, and outline some potential solutions.

Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...

Cancer-Critical Genes II: Tumor Suppressor Genes
When the function of certain critical genes, especially those involved in cell cycle regulation and cell growth signaling cascades, gets disrupted, it upsets the cell cycle progression. Such cells with unchecked cell cycles start proliferating uncontrollably and eventually develop into tumors.
Such genes that act...
