Four questions for spotting reliable information
Cancer literacy is not about knowing everything — it is about knowing what to ask.
1
Who published it?
Look for hospitals, universities, health authorities and named experts.
2
When was it updated?
Cancer knowledge evolves — recent, dated sources are more trustworthy.
3
Is it evidence-based?
Reliable information cites research, not anecdotes or single stories.
4
Does it sell something?
Be cautious when a “fact” conveniently promotes a product or cure.
