Abstract

Adherence to adjuvant endocrine therapy (AET) following breast cancer is known to be suboptimaldespite its known efficacy in reducing recurrence and mortality. This study aims toinvestigate factors associated with non-adherence and inform the development ofinterventions to support women and promote...
