In a 3-year future study of 199 patients with lymphoma, all of those with No Shows were contacted, and reasons given for No Shows were categorized. Of the 340 No Shows, 34.1% were due to hospital-based communication errors, 17.6% to errors in patient communication with the hospital, 7.4% to transportation problems and 16.5% to other personal reasons. Almost one quarter (24.4%) of the patients were not contactable. Haya S. Al-Eid, BDS, DFE, CTR (2007) Cancer Incidence and Survival Report.

Six-hundred-and-ninety-five participants (136 cancer patients, 161 informal cares, and 398 health care professionals) were employed from oncology centers in four major regions of Saudi Arabia. Each group was asked to complete a survey specifically designed to meet the goals of the study. The data obtained from the three different questionnaires indicated that the level of cancer care in the Ministry of Health hospitals was poor compared to other hospitals such as the King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre, military hospitals or university hospitals in the kingdom, possibly due to the absence of home care services or periodic follow-up by their regional hospitals. It was also reported that the shortage of drugs used in cancer management and lack of cancer care knowledge were the major obstacles to providing good cancer care.
