What Are Common Examples of Misguided Treatment Decisions?
Some common examples include:
Overtreatment: Administering aggressive treatments like chemotherapy or radiation for early-stage cancers that might be effectively managed with less invasive options. Undertreatment: Failing to provide the necessary level of care for advanced-stage cancers due to misconceptions about the efficacy of treatment. Alternative therapies: Opting for unproven alternative therapies over conventional treatments, leading to delayed or ineffective care. Ignoring genetic testing: Not utilizing genetic testing to tailor treatment plans, which can result in less effective outcomes.
