What are the challenges in adjusting cancer treatment?
Several challenges can complicate treatment adjustments:
- Rapid disease progression: Fast-growing cancers may outpace the time needed to evaluate treatment effectiveness. - Resistance: Cancers can develop resistance to drugs, necessitating frequent adjustments. - Side effects management: Balancing treatment efficacy with side effect severity can be difficult. - Insurance and cost: Financial constraints and insurance coverage can limit access to alternative or new treatments.
