Susceptibility surveillance among gram-negative bacilli at a cancer center.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Adherence to imatinib therapy has been significantly associated with disease progression and direct medical costs in gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) patients. However, adherence to oral anticancer drugs is frequently hindered by the influence of various factors. The aim of this study was to evaluate th...
