Introduction This study examined the prevalence of financial toxicity (FT) its association with health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Methods Study design: Cross-sectional, 1st May – 30 Nov. 2018. Total sample size: 429. Sampling method: Universal sampling. Study sites: Urology clinics of Sarawak General Hospital (n = 366) and Subang Jaya Medical Centre (n = 63). Instrument and validity: Subjective financial toxicity 0.804, Objective financial toxicity n/a, Health-related Quality of Life 0.995.Data collection: Interviewer-administered questionnaire. Data analysis: SPSS V22. Results [Refer to Poster]. Discussion / Conclusion Objective and subjective FT were experienced by 16.1 and 47.3% of the respondents, respectively. Greater objective FT (OR=2.75, 95% CI 1.09–6.95) and subjective FT (OR=4.68, 95% CI 2.63–8.30) were associated with poor HRQoL. The significant association between both objective and subjective FT and HRQoL highlights the importance of reducing FT among urologic cancer patients. Subjective FT was found to have a greater negative impact on HRQoL.
