Factors Associated With Default of Treatment and Follow-Up Among Patients With Cancer: A Cross-Sectional Study From a Lower-Middle-Income Country
Lack of social support, financial constraints, transportation barriers, and inadequate counseling by the health care provider serve as barriers to uninterrupted cancer care. These factors are often interrelated and can be attenuated by adopting the hub and spoke model. Simultaneously, a good relationship between the patient and the health care provider fostered by appropriate counseling is imperative to increase adherence to cancer treatment and improve the outcome.
