Treating cancer with oral medications that are taken at home sounds like a great
idea, and it is, once adherence barriers are addressed. Likewise, years ago it was
unthinkable that surviving cancer would have a downside, but because late
and long-term effects of cancer treatments were not adequately addressed, survivorship
quality was suboptimal. The good news is that if survivorship issues can be resolved,
so can the problems associated with oral therapy adherence.
