Adherence to oral anticancer medications in metastatic versus nonmetastatic breast cancer patients: Insights from a low-middle-income country
This study confirms that adherence to OAMs is significantly affected by both the metastatic status and the severity of side effects. This highlights the urgent need for enhanced educational and management strategies tailored to the specific challenges faced by breast cancer patients, especially those dealing with severe side effects. Ongoing research should focus on developing and testing targeted interventions to improve adherence in these patient groups.
