OVERVIEW Given the number of lives affected by cancer and the great potential for optimizing well-being via lifestyle changes, patients, providers, health care systems, advocacy groups, and entrepreneurs are looking to digital solutions to enhance patient care and broaden prevention efforts. Thousands of health-oriented mobile websites and apps have been developed, with a majority focused upon lifestyle behaviors (e.g., exercise, diet, smoking). In this review, we consider the use and potential of social media and mHealth technologies for cancer prevention, cancer treatment, and survivorship. We identify key principles in research and practice, summarize prior reviews, and highlight notable case studies and patient resources. Further, with the potential for scaled delivery and broad reach, we consider application of social media and mHealth technologies in low-resource settings. With clear advantages for reach, social media and mHealth technologies offer the ability to scale and engage entire populations at low cost, develop supportive social networks, connect patients and providers, encourage adherence with cancer care, and collect vast quantities of data for advancing cancer research. Development efforts have been rapid and numerous, yet evaluation of intervention effects on behavior change and health outcomes are sorely needed, and regulation around data security issues is notably lacking. Attention to broader audiences is also needed, with targeted development for culturally diverse groups and non-English speakers. Further investment in research to build the evidence base and identify best practices will help delineate and actualize the potential of social media and mHealth technologies for cancer prevention and treatment.

Bioethics & Humanities Ovarian cancer is the fifth leading cause of cancer death among women. Women with a personal 2014). Anyone with an internet connection is invited to create, exchange, and consume usergenerated content, transforming passive consumers into content producers with increasing frequency (Keim & Noji 2011; Arigo et al., 2018). Today, over 72% of adult internet users go online for health information (Volkman et al., 2014; Fox & Duggan, 2013). This trend of seeking and consuming health information over social media is slated to increase along with growing mobile device ownership (PEW Research, 2018C). Social media users feel that the internet is a valuable source for health information, and often query their health concerns over social networking sites inhabited by people with shared health experiences (Duggan et al., 2015; Hong et al., 2012). Many of these individuals use the internet to address their health concerns and even self-diagnose before contacting their health care provider (
