Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the knowledge and attitudes of Muslim cancer patients about fasting during Ramadan while undergoing treatment.
- Conducted at Aga Khan University Hospital from July to August 2015, the research involved 265 adult cancer patients, primarily females, with breast cancer being the most common type.
- Findings indicated that while 54.3% of patients sought advice on fasting, a significant portion of those who did fast were in the early stages of their disease, and many who abstained cited fatigue as the main reason.
