Non-Compliance with Chemotherapy in the Oncology Patient with a Good Prognosis, v. 2 (Paperback)

This is Volume 2 of 2 of the PhD Thesis of Dr.Ruth Benjamin which goes deeply into the question of why the cancer patient who has a good chance of survival and even cure will choose to opt out of treatment often with fatal results. This first volume goes into the literature of medical non compliance in general and the efforts that have been made to combat it. In Volume One of this thesis there is an extensive and informative literature survey on medical non compliance. In all branches of medicine people are putting their lives at risk by not taking their medication as prescribed. In the second volume, details are given and the subjects, methods and tests used and a Pilot study is presented giving a successful intervention to improve compliance.
