Studies have shown that cancer patients may be at high risk for financial problems because of the cost of treatment. These financial problems can be stressful and sometimes might cause patients to avoid or refuse treatment. This study will measure how often financial problems happen in patients with colorectal cancer, using questionnaires that collect information about finances and quality of life. The study findings will provide a better understanding of the financial impact of cancer.
