Abstract

Prescribing drugs in medical oncology significantly influences patient outcomes and quality of life. However, this process encounters numerous clinical, socioeconomic, and systemic barriers, leading to disparities in patient access to treatments. This research aims to bridge the knowledge gap by examining the decision-making dynamics of medical oncologists and the challenges impacting patient care.
