Elucidating the causes of non-adherence to treatments in breast cancer

Описание: Matteo Lambertini, MD, PhD, IRCCS Ospedale Policlinico San Martino, Genova, Italy, provides an overview of the various factors that can impact drug adherence in patients with breast cancer. Such factors include patient-related factors such as young age and co-morbidities, therapy-related factors like the type of endocrine therapy, and social or healthcare factors like drug reimbursement. Young age is a significant risk factor for non-adherence, potentially due to the toxicity of endocrine therapy and the desire to become pregnant, and understanding the drivers of non-adherence in individual patients is necessary to improve treatment outcomes. This interview took place at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) 2025 Congress in Berlin, Germany.
