Several factors influence adherence in cancer treatment, including:
Complexity of the Treatment Regimen: Multiple medications or frequent clinic visits can be challenging to manage. Side Effects: Adverse reactions to treatment can discourage patients from continuing their regimen. Psychological Factors: Depression and anxiety can reduce motivation to adhere to treatment. Socioeconomic Status: Financial constraints or lack of access to healthcare can hinder adherence. Support Systems: A strong support network can improve adherence, while isolation can have the opposite effect.
