Chemotherapy contributes to a quarter of cancer deaths: study

ABC reported on a study done by British National Confidential Enquiry into Patient Outcome and Deaths. The study highlighted a review of late-stage cancer patients who died within 30 days of chemo treatment. One in four deaths was cused or hastened by the chemotherapy.

Note: this review was done on late-stage cancer patients and discusses the issues of the patient understanding the limitations of intervention with chemotherapy.
