Abstract

Many cancer treatments impose large time investments on patients. We have termed these time burdens ‘time toxicity’ and have urged their consideration as adverse events of treatment. Here, we discuss time toxicity measures while considering inequitable access to healthcare, time as a resource, and patterns of time toxicity.
