Non-adherence to cancer treatment plans can have several negative consequences, including:
Disease Progression: Skipping treatments can allow cancer to progress, potentially leading to more advanced stages. Increased Risk of Recurrence: Inadequate treatment can increase the likelihood of cancer returning after remission. Reduced Survival Rates: Non-adherence is associated with lower survival rates as the effectiveness of treatment is compromised. Increased Healthcare Costs: Non-adherence can lead to more frequent hospitalizations and higher overall healthcare costs.
