We sought to examine these patient experiences through mixed methods analysis.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>METHODS:<\/jats:title><jats:p>Women (\u2265 18 years old) with a history of breast cancer were recruited from the Love Research Army and Sisters Network to complete an 88-item electronic survey including an open-ended response. Quantitative data were used to sort and stratify responses to the open-ended question, which comprised the qualitative data evaluated here. Descriptive statistics and qualitative content analysis were used to evaluate the financial costs and other burdens resulting from breast cancer surgery.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>RESULTS:<\/jats:title><jats:p>In total, 511 respondents completed the survey in its entirety and wrote an open-ended response. Participants reported significant financial burden in different categories including direct payments for medical care and indirect costs such as lost wages and travel expenses. Treatment-related costs burdened participants for years after diagnosis, forming a financial arc for many participants. Discrepancies existed between the degree of financial burden reported on multiple-choice questions and participants\u2019 corresponding open-ended descriptions of financial burden. Participants described a lack of communication surrounding costs with their providers and difficulty negotiating payments with insurance.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>CONCLUSION:<\/jats:title><jats:p>Breast cancer care can result in ongoing financial burden years after diagnosis among all patients, even those with adequate insurance patient populations.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1200\/op.20.00780","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,10]],"date-time":"2021-02-10T21:07:12Z","timestamp":1612991232000},"page":"e872-e881","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1200\/crossmark","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":27,"title":["Patient Perspectives on the Financial Costs and Burdens of Breast Cancer Surgery"],"prefix":"10.1200","volume":"17","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8015-4058","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sachiko M.","family":"Oshima","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Duke University School of Medicine, Durham, NC"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sarah D.","family":"Tait","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Duke University School of Medicine, Durham, NC"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7453-2120","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Christel","family":"Rushing","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Biostatistics Shared Resource, Duke Cancer Institute, Duke University, Durham, NC"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Whitney","family":"Lane","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Duke University School of Medicine, Durham, NC"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Terry","family":"Hyslop","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Biostatistics Shared Resource, Duke Cancer Institute, Duke University, Durham, NC"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5169-4589","authenticated-orcid":false,"suffix":"II","given":"Anaeze C.","family":"Offodile","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic Surgery, MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stephanie B.","family":"Wheeler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Policy and Management, UNC Gillings School of Global and Public Health, Chapel Hill, NC"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9039-5258","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"S.
