Abstract

The aim of this research is to explore the perspectives of significant others regarding cancer care experiences of patients receiving antineoplastic medicines for colorectal cancer. Globally, there has been growing concern that patients are not receiving appropriate cancer care based on their needs. Efforts were made towards better quality of care to meet patients' needs and expectations. Despite this, healthcare systems are required to operate with decreasing resources as a consequence of the overall economic context. This poster was selected for the Poster Discussion Forum Session at the conference (PDF 2.10) and was the Winner of this category.
