  •   Based on your comment, could you cite compliance with maintenance oncology treatments (chronic therapy).

    There is no single study or publication that groups adherence into a single number; the general range is 20% to 100% (Partridge, et al, JNCI, 2002) but Ruddy et al has an excellent discussion of the studies citing adherence rates in a variety of cancers and oral agents. The Ruddy paper can be found here; the Partridge paper is here.
