What Are the Risks of Using Ineffective Treatments?
Opting for ineffective treatments can have several adverse consequences:
Delayed Treatment: Wasting time on unproven therapies can delay the initiation of effective treatments, making the cancer more difficult to treat. Financial Burden: Many ineffective treatments are expensive and not covered by insurance, leading to significant out-of-pocket costs. False Hope: These treatments can give patients false hope, leading to emotional and psychological stress when they do not work. Health Risks: Some ineffective treatments can cause harmful side effects or interact negatively with proven therapies.
