Implication

This analysis reveals significant time costs and distress from administrative tasks in patients with metastatic breast cancer or advanced stage ovarian cancer, suggesting a need for solutions.

Key Points

Patients with metastatic breast cancer or advanced stage ovarian cancer report median administrative time costs of 13 minutes weekly.
Higher distress is linked to days involving administrative tasks related to cancer care, highlighting an overlooked burden.
Individuals without reliable transportation spent significantly more time on administrative tasks, suggesting enhanced inequalities.
Future research should focus on reducing administrative burden, aiming to improve the quality of life for cancer patients.
