This review found a high pooled prevalence of medication-related problems among cancer patients in Ethiopia, with predictors including comorbidities, complications and polypharmacy. About two-fifths of patients were not fully adherent to their prescribed cancer treatments. These findings highlight the need for targeted interventions to improve medication safety and adherence, and underscore the importance of future research to identify effective strategies for reducing MRPs in oncology settings.
