Ekramy Essa Abdelrhman: Only 45% of patients with medical claims indicating a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease report that a doctor told them of their diagnosis, according to data from the Alzheimer's Association. In contrast, disclosure rates for colorectal, breast, lung, and prostate cancers exceed 90%.

Ekramy Essa Abdelrhman: Alzheimer's Association official release. "It is of utmost importance to respect people's autonomy, empower them to make their own decisions and acknowledge that people with Alzheimer's have every right to expect truthful discussions with their physicians."
