Summary

The goal of this pilot study is to access the feasibility and impact of a financial navigation program on improving financial toxicity among patients with breast cancer in China.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Is the intervention feasible and acceptable among participants?
* Does the intervention enhance participants' cost-related health literacy?
* Does the intervention reduce participants' financial toxicity?

Researchers will compare the financial navigation program with usual oncology care to preliminarily evaluate its effectiveness.

Participants will receive comprehensive information support, including:

* Strategies on patient-physician costs discussion
* Skills for inquiring and tracking treatment-related costs
* Basic knowledge about health insurance
* Guidance on accessing and applying for financial assistance
* Suggestions for returning to normal life and work
* Strategies for holding a financial-related family meeting
