The internet is a common source of health information for patients with cancer. Despite research surrounding the quality of online resources for individual types of cancer, these results may not necessarily be easily extrapolated to cancer resources as a whole. Thus, we aim to use a standardized tool to produce generalizable results by analyzing the quality of online resources for the most common cancers. Educational websites pertaining to breast, lung, prostate, and colorectal cancers were searched using multiple search engines. After screening against pre-specified inclusion criteria, the most visible 100 websites for each cancer were extracted for analysis. A validated tool was then used to assess their quality. Pooled results were evaluated using descriptive and inferential statistics. Of the 400 analyzed websites, 43% were commercially affiliated, and these were significantly associated with greater use of biased language. Thirty percent of websites disclosed authorship, 47% cited at least one reliable source, and 43% were updated within the last 2 years. The average Flesch-Kincaid readability was determined to be at a grade 10.9 level, which is significantly more difficult than the recommended grade 6 level. Risk factors, symptoms, and detection were the most accurately covered topics. However, most websites did not cover prognosis. This study comprehensively examines the quality of online cancer resources for the four most common cancers. Our results could help guide the development of future resources, support patient education endeavors, and raise awareness among healthcare providers about the limitations of online cancer resources.

最常见癌症在线资源的质量评估

互联网是癌症患者健康信息的常见来源。尽管围绕个别类型癌症的在线资源质量进行了研究,但这些结果可能不一定很容易外推到整个癌症资源。因此,我们的目标是使用标准化工具通过分析最常见癌症的在线资源质量来产生可推广的结果。使用多个搜索引擎搜索与乳腺癌、肺癌、前列腺癌和结直肠癌有关的教育网站。在根据预先指定的纳入标准进行筛选后,针对每种癌症提取了最明显的 100 个网站进行分析。然后使用经过验证的工具来评估其质量。使用描述性和推论性统计评估汇总结果。在分析的 400 个网站中,43% 有商业关联,这些与更多使用有偏见的语言显着相关。30% 的网站披露了作者身份,47% 引用了至少一个可靠来源,43% 在过去 2 年内进行了更新。Flesch-Kincaid 的平均可读性被确定为 10.9 级水平,这比推荐的 6 级水平要难得多。风险因素、症状和检测是最准确涵盖的主题。然而,大多数网站没有涵盖预后。这项研究全面检查了四种最常见癌症的在线癌症资源的质量。我们的结果可能有助于指导未来资源的开发,支持患者教育工作,并提高医疗保健提供者对在线癌症资源局限性的认识。这些与更多使用有偏见的语言显着相关。30% 的网站披露了作者身份,47% 引用了至少一个可靠来源,43% 在过去 2 年内进行了更新。Flesch-Kincaid 的平均可读性被确定为 10.9 级水平,这比推荐的 6 级水平要难得多。风险因素、症状和检测是最准确涵盖的主题。然而,大多数网站没有涵盖预后。这项研究全面检查了四种最常见癌症的在线癌症资源的质量。我们的结果可能有助于指导未来资源的开发,支持患者教育工作,并提高医疗保健提供者对在线癌症资源局限性的认识。这些与更多使用有偏见的语言显着相关。30% 的网站披露了作者身份,47% 引用了至少一个可靠来源,43% 在过去 2 年内进行了更新。Flesch-Kincaid 的平均可读性被确定为 10.9 级水平,这比推荐的 6 级水平要难得多。风险因素、症状和检测是最准确涵盖的主题。然而,大多数网站没有涵盖预后。这项研究全面检查了四种最常见癌症的在线癌症资源的质量。我们的结果可能有助于指导未来资源的开发,支持患者教育工作,并提高医疗保健提供者对在线癌症资源局限性的认识。
