Many women with early breast cancer judge small benefits sufficient to make adjuvant chemotherapy worthwhile despite its inconvenience and side effects (Duric and Stockler, 2001; Jansen et al, 2001; Duric et al, 2005).
In any other country they'd at least recognize that the inconvenience is worthwhile.

5 6 However, there has not yet been any formal evaluation of whether potential recipients of such interventions consider effects of the magnitude observed in randomised trials to be worthwhile to justify the costs and inconveniences they experience in participating.
Despite the clear evidence that the rate of falls in older people can be reduced with exercise interventions, there has not yet been any formal evaluation of whether potential recipients of such interventions consider effects of the magnitude observed in randomised trials to be worthwhile to justify the costs and inconveniences they experience in participating.
Women who have had adjuvant chemotherapy for early breast cancer judge small benefits sufficient to make it worthwhile, despite its significant side effects and inconvenience (Duric and Stockler, 2001; Jansen et al, 2001; Duric et al, 2005).
With this approach, we will determine the probability that a person will consider the effects of an intervention to be worthwhile, given the particular costs, risks and inconveniences.
As a consequence, it is possible to determine the probability that a person will consider the effects of an exercise-based programme to prevent falls worthwhile, given the particular costs, risks and inconveniences.
Still, he said, statins were not generally advised for patients without risk factors for heart attacks and strokes, or for people younger than 40, because such patients would have less to gain, and the cost and inconvenience of drug treatment would not be considered worthwhile.
We believe, however, that conductance of our trial itself would be fully justified; given the severe symptoms of uncontrolled MPE and the inconvenience of the drainage tube, survival without MPE would be a worthwhile treatment goal.
