A fountain of knowledge? The quality of online resources for testicular cancer patients.

CONCLUSIONS: These results show that authorship and currency are lacking in many online testicular resources, making it difficult for patients to validate the reliability of information. The high average readability of testicular cancer websites can affect comprehension. Topics such as prognosis were incompletely covered although represent an area for which patients often seek more information. These results can be used to counsel patients on the strength and weaknesses of online testicular cancer resources. PMID: 32209216 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
