Women at high risk of breast cancer face cost-associated barriers to care even when they have health insurance, a new study has found.
The findings suggest the need for more transparency in pricing of health care and policies to eliminate financial obstacles to catching cancer early.
The study led by researchers at The Ohio State University included in-depth interviews with 50 women - 30 white, 20 Black - deemed at high risk of breast cancer based on family history and other factors. It appears in the
Journal of Genetic Counseling.
