“…In total, 10 of the 112 papers were categorized in the demographics group. The new communication environment offers an opportunity for skin cancer prevention but primarily targets younger demographics: the success of SM skin cancer prevention campaigns decreases as participant age increases [ 48 - 50 ]. However, many young adults consider SM prevention messages to be uninfluential, because they are lost in the influx of other information [ 51 , 52 ].…”

Background The wide availability of web-based sources, including social media (SM), has supported rapid, widespread dissemination of health information. This dissemination can be an asset during public health emergencies; however, it can also present challenges when the information is inaccurate or ill-informed. Of interest, many SM sources discuss cancer, specifically cutaneous melanoma and keratinocyte cancers (basal cell and squamous cell carcinoma). Objective Through a comprehensive and scoping review of the literature, this study aims to gain an actionable perspective of the state of SM information regarding skin cancer diagnostics, prognostics, and prevention. Methods We performed a scoping literature review to establish the relationship between SM and skin cancer. A literature search was conducted across MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and Scopus from January 2000 to June 2023. The included studies discussed SM and its relationship to and effect on skin cancer. Results Through the search, 1009 abstracts were initially identified, 188 received full-text review, and 112 met inclusion criteria. The included studies were divided into 7 groupings based on a publication’s primary objective: misinformation (n=40, 36%), prevention campaign (n=19, 17%), engagement (n=16, 14%), research (n=12, 11%), education (n=11, 10%), demographics (n=10, 9%), and patient support (n=4, 3%), which were the most common identified themes. Conclusions Through this review, we gained a better understanding of the SM environment addressing skin cancer information, and we gained insight into the best practices by which SM could be used to positively influence the health care information ecosystem.

BACKGROUND The wide availability of online sources, including social media, has supported rapid, wide-spread dissemination of health information. This dissemination can be an asset during public health emergencies, however it can also present challenges when the information is inaccurate or ill-informed. Of interest, many social media sources discuss cancer, specifically cutaneous melanoma and keratinocyte cancers (basal cell and squamous cell carcinoma). OBJECTIVE This study aims to understand the new and evolving world of social media information and misinformation regarding skin cancer diagnostics, prognostics, and prevention. METHODS We performed a systematic literature review to establish the relationship between social media and skin cancer, following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) reporting guidelines. A literature search was conducted across MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and Scopus from January 2000-June 2023. The included studies discussed social media and its relationship to and effect on skin cancer. RESULTS Through the search, 1009 abstracts were initially identified, 188 received full-text review, and 112 met inclusion criteria. The included studies were divided into seven groupings based on the publication’s primary objective. Misinformation (35%), prevention campaigns (17%), engagement (15%), research (11%), education (10%), demographics (9%), and patient support (3%) were the most common identified themes. CONCLUSIONS Through this review, we gained a better understanding of the social media environment addressing skin cancer information, and we gained insight into the best practices by which social media could be used to positively influence the health care information ecosystem.
