Abstract
Accurate information about cancer treatment is critical for individuals to make informed decisions about their health. Unfortunately, the rise of the Internet and social media combined with patients’ desire for autonomy as well as the increased availability and marketing of unproven or disproven therapies has made it easy for misinformation about cancer to spread. This can have grave consequences for patients, as individuals who rely on misinformation may make decisions that put their health at risk, including choosing to forego effective treatment in favor of unproven or disproven therapies. To address these serious issues, it is important to understand what constitutes cancer treatment misinformation and the available mitigation strategies. This knowledge can inform efforts to counteract the spread of cancer treatment misinformation and promote accurate information about cancer.
