What are the Consequences of Incomplete Treatment?
Stopping cancer treatment prematurely can have serious repercussions:
Disease Progression: Incomplete treatment may allow cancer cells to survive and proliferate, leading to disease progression and metastasis. Resistance: Incomplete treatment can lead to the development of resistant cancer cells, making future treatment more difficult and less effective. Recurrence: Even if initial treatment appears successful, incomplete therapy increases the risk of cancer recurrence. Decreased Survival Rate: Overall survival rates can be significantly reduced if the full course of treatment is not completed.
