What Are the Challenges to Achieving Transparency?
Despite its benefits, achieving transparency in cancer care can be challenging due to:
The complexity of cancer diagnoses and treatments, which can be difficult to explain in simple terms. Time constraints during medical consultations, limiting the depth of discussions. Variability in healthcare providers' communication skills and willingness to share information. Patients' varying levels of health literacy and ability to understand medical information. Concerns about causing unnecessary anxiety or fear in patients by providing too much information.
