Cancer awareness in the general population varies with sex, age and media coverage: A population-based survey with focus on gynecologic cancers

摘要

Objectives: There is a need for more knowledge about the public awareness and attitudes towards gynecologic cancers. We employed a research-purpose population-based citizen panel to assess how often people recall gynecologic cancers compared to other cancer types and to explore the relative importance of different information channels in relaying cancer information.
