Millions of cancer survivors have put off receiving medical care because they could not afford it, according to a new study.
More than 2 million of 12 million U.S. adult cancer survivors did not get one or more needed medical services, the researchers estimate.
About 8 percent of the cancer survivors in the survey said they had put off medical care. The survey did not ask what kinds of care they did not receive -- or whether it was related to their cancer, Weaver said.
About 10 percent of cancer survivors also said they had to forgo filling prescriptions. About11 percent said they put off dental care, and 3 percent postponed mental health services because of costs.
