the study was conducted at al-Zahrawi hospital in the city of M'sila on a sample of 90 patients with cancer.

in our current study, we relied on the descriptive approach, based on the health compliance scale of Abd al-Samad Soriya, from which 5 items were deleted, after calculating the psychometric characteristics, so it became composed of 10 items instead of 15 items.

the results revealed a high level of compliance among the respondents, in addition to the absence of statistically significant differences due to the gender variable.

cancer requires a high compliance to health, and no male or female is exempt from it, as the disease is life-threatening.
