CORNELL / U. PENNSYLVANIA (US) — When it comes to cancer, the Internet can actually clarify misinformation rather than fuel fatalistic fears, a new study finds.Inundated with reports about cancer causes and prevalence, many people adopt fatalistic attitudes about its prevention, believing that getting cancer is a matter of fate or luck, previous research has shown. But a new study suggests that the Internet can be used as a tool to help clarify cancer confusion and promote prevention practices.
