Reliable cancer information on the web

The Journal Cancer has an article in its March 15 issue that says that aout 95% of the information about breast cancer on the Internet is accurate. You can see a Washington Post article about the journal article here: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/02/11/AR2008021100809.html.

Patients should always be cautious about any information they get from the Internet, and always consider the source and recency of the information. But the good news is there is a lot of good information available to patients. This kind of information can help patients ask questions and have meaningful conversations with their physicians.
