Primary reasons for treatment abandonment
Among the 28 children that did not complete the required number of sessions, we probed further to identify primary reasons What for not doing so. Table 4 illustrates the primary reasons for treatment abandonment among the children that started chemotherapy. As illustrated, the leading reason was insufficient funds to pay for chemotherapy sessions (11, 39%). We were not able to get in touch with 9 families and so their reasons for treatment abandonment were not identified.
