Event Description

Considering a clinical trial but unsure about the costs? You’re not alone. Many patients and caregivers have questions about what participation really means financially. In this webinar, we’ll provide clear, reassuring answers about clinical trial expenses: what is typically covered; what costs to expect; and how to plan so you can feel more confident exploring this important treatment option.

We’ll also address the separate, often overlooked costs of mental health care during cancer, including counseling, therapy, and emotional support services. Learn about available financial assistance programs, insurance considerations, and practical resources that can help reduce out-of-pocket expenses, so you can access both innovative treatment and the support you need without added financial stress.
