Several factors can impact the long term efficacy of cancer treatments:
Genetic mutations: Certain genetic mutations can make cancer more aggressive or resistant to treatment. Treatment adherence: Patients need to follow prescribed treatment plans accurately to achieve optimal outcomes. Comorbidities: Existing health conditions can complicate treatment and affect long term efficacy. Patient age: Younger patients often have better long-term outcomes compared to older patients. Lifestyle factors: Diet, exercise, and smoking status can also influence the effectiveness of cancer treatments over the long term.
