Abstract

Background: Cancer is a group of diseases characterized by uncontrolled growth and spread characterized by uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells.

Method: The study was conducted by selecting A non-probability sampling technique (purposive sample) of 250 patients were selected who attended the National Cancer Teaching Hospital based on criteria for treatment, follow-up, or both.

Results: The study's results showed that significant partial satisfaction with care among patients is consistent with our hypothesis about hospital healthcare services.

Conclusion: Women are more likely to get cancer, and Breast cancer is the most common type. The age group ranges between (53-60) are the most sensitive group to this disease, and therefore cancer must be investigated early before reaching this age.
