Labor/Employment
Social services
Consumers/patients face significant out-of-pocket healthcare costs, lost wages during treatment, and reduced earning capacity. Family households experience income disruption and caregiving burdens. Demand for oncology services and supportive care increases.
Highlights need for robust cancer screening programs, affordable treatment access, employment protections for cancer patients, mental health support integration, and potentially subsidized hormone therapy. May inform regional health policy in Azores regarding oncology resource allocation.
