Article Synopsis
- Breast cancer is a leading health issue in Brazil, requiring careful consideration from both doctors and patients regarding the benefits of chemotherapy.
- A study of 53 breast cancer patients revealed that a large majority are willing to undergo chemotherapy again, even for minimal benefits related to relapse, survival, or cure rates.
- Factors influencing this willingness include older age, lower education levels, and not having previously received Adriamycin, indicating personal circumstances impact treatment decisions.
