Regression Analysis of Non-iatrogenic Factors That Determine Adherence to Radiation Therapy.

The aim of this study is to explore non-medical factors that determine withdrawal from radiation therapy. Data from 2,643 patients who received radiotherapy in our Hospital from March 2010 to March 2012 were collected. Using gender, age, stage of the disease, Karnofsky score, aim of radiation therapy, therapy technique, vocation, medical insurance, and educational status as variables, 43 patients who terminated radiation therapy due to non-medical causes and 43 who completed the recommended course in the same period of time were, respectively, allocated to study and control groups.
