Area of Science:

  • Health Communication
  • Internet Studies
  • Cancer Research

Background:

  • Historically, cancer communication relied on face-to-face, print, and telephone interactions.
  • Early computer-supported media had limited accessibility due to sophisticated platform requirements.
  • The advent of the Internet and user-friendly interfaces democratized information access and dissemination.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To acknowledge the expanded capabilities of the Internet in cancer communication.
  • To propose an Ecological Model of Internet-Based Cancer Communication.
  • To broaden the vision for utilizing the Internet in cancer prevention and treatment support.

Main Methods:

  • Review of the evolution of communication technologies in cancer care.
