About The Study: In this survey study of patients with breast cancer, exposure to medical misinformation was common, underscoring the need for better survivorship communication with patients; fear of recurrence was not associated with exposure to misinformation. Further research on how patients process medical misinformation is essential, especially in populations at highest risk for misinformation spread.
