David Benjamin: Cancer in public figures, 2010-2020
David Benjamin, Medical Oncologist at the Hoag Family Cancer Institute, shared a post on X about a paper he co-authored with colleagues published in ESMO Real World Data and Digital Oncology:
“Does reading an article about a public figure with cancer leave you with more uncertainty than clarity?
In ESMO Real World Data and Digital Oncology, we review news articles about public figures with cancer from 2010 to 2020.
Our study found that most articles lack pertinent details (e.g. type, prognosis, treatment, etc.) on cancer care.
Understandably, public figures may choose not to disclose personal aspects of their cancer care.
The lack of details and general uncertainty about cancer in these public figures may ultimately lead to more fear and anxiety among readers.”
