Description
Eric K Singhi and co-authors survey in 2026 how people use social media to learn about lung cancer, running polls through Instagram stories over three weeks. Among 182 respondents, patients formed the largest group, followed by caregivers and clinicians. Most were women aged 25 to 44 living in North America.
Two thirds followed cancer-related accounts, and short videos, patient stories, and infographics were the favorite formats. Nearly all said diagrams and animations improved their understanding. Most reported greater confidence in discussing care, and many said posts changed a behavior. Respondents wanted more on new therapies, conference news, and survivorship, supporting social media as a real channel for cancer education.
