Abstract
In South Africa, breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer amongst women. Adherence to cancer therapy such as chemotherapy is essential for the achievement of optimal treatment benefits and treatment efficacy, which requires patients to receive 100% of their intravenous chemotherapy doses. However, factors such as beliefs regarding breast cancer complicate adherence to treatment. In contexts like South Africa, geographic and socio-economic disparities as well as cultural factors impact on adherence to cancer therapy, yet little is documented and understood about these factors in the South African literature.
