Doctors perform risk and benefit analysis by considering multiple factors:
Stage of Cancer: The stage and type of cancer significantly influence the potential risks and benefits of treatment. Patient's Health: The patient's overall health, age, and comorbid conditions play a crucial role in determining the suitability of a treatment. Previous Treatments: The patient's history of cancer treatments can affect the current treatment options and their effectiveness. Patient Preferences: Doctors also consider the patient's values, preferences, and goals of care.
