What this Trial Is About
The goal of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of a structured financial navigation program in reducing financial catastrophe and financial distress for cancer patients in Nigeria.

If a financial navigation program is financially sustainable and cost-effective for cancer centers in Nigeria? Participants will be required to: 1. Complete surveys about their demographics, clinical history, and socioeconomic status 2. Complete questionnaires about their quality of life and psychological wellbeing 3. Report all costs related to their cancer care Investigators will compare participants in the financial navigation program and those not in the financial navigation program to identify potential differences in catastrophic health expenditure and financial distress.
