ecancermedicalscience has just published an editorial on “The role of heuristics and biases in cancer-related decisions”. The editorial explores the fascinating topic of what people base their decisions on when considering prophylactic cancer procedures.
The role of celebrities such as Angelina Jolie in influencing the general public’s choices is discussed as well as the dangers that may arise from flawed decision making based on the experiences of others.

We are an independent charity and are not backed by a large company or society. We raise every penny ourselves to improve the standards of cancer care through education. You can help us continue our work to address inequalities in cancer care by making a donation.
Any donation, however small, contributes directly towards the costs of creating and sharing free oncology education.
Together we can get better outcomes for patients by tackling global inequalities in access to the results of cancer research.
Thank you for your support.
