erosion of public trust

How Does Misinformation Affect Trust?

Misinformation about cancer can spread rapidly through social media and other platforms, making it difficult for the public to distinguish between credible information and falsehoods. For example, myths about cancer causes or unproven "miracle cures" can lead people to distrust established medical advice. This skepticism can result in patients opting out of evidence-based treatments in favor of alternative therapies that may be ineffective or harmful.
