Several factors contribute to poor decision-making among cancer patients:
Emotional stress: The diagnosis of cancer can be overwhelming, leading to anxiety and depression. These emotional states can cloud judgment and lead to poor choices. Lack of information: Many patients do not have access to accurate and comprehensive information about their condition and treatment options. Cultural beliefs: Some cultural or religious beliefs may discourage conventional medical treatments, prompting patients to seek alternative therapies. Financial constraints: The high cost of cancer treatment can make it difficult for patients to pursue the best available options.
