Higher Distress Scores Associated With Reduced Ability To Complete Prescribed Gynecologic Cancer Therapy

Objective: The association of social determinants of health with oncologic outcome is extensively described in the literature. The mechanism by which these social determinants have a direct impact on oncologic outcome is not clearly known. The aim of this study is to investigate whether a priori patient-reported distress levels, as measured by validated toolkits, correlate with treatment interruption and nonadherence to care.
