Online misinformation about cancer is widespread and can potentially mislead individuals, causing harm and therefore trust in science and medical professionals is crucial, says a new report.
The article from NDTV discusses a report by the Indian Cancer Society highlighting the widespread misinformation about cancer in India. The report, titled "Cancer Misinformation in India," reveals that a significant portion of the population believes in myths and misconceptions regarding cancer causes, treatments, and cures. Key findings include the belief that cancer is contagious, that it can be cured by alternative medicine alone, or that it is a punishment for past sins. This misinformation leads to delayed medical consultations, inappropriate treatments, and increased stigma. The report emphasizes the urgent need for better public education on cancer, stressing the importance of trust in conventional medical treatments and the necessity for a collaborative effort among healthcare providers, media, and educational institutions to combat these myths and promote accurate information.
