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.
