摘要
Objective To identify the frequency of Internet use by colorectal cancer patients. Materials and methods Fifty patients interviews. Results Only four patients (8%) had used the internet to access information about colorectal cancer though 36% would have used it if a site had been recommended. Conclusion The Internet is a resource rarely used by patients but there is potential for its use as an adjunct to written and verbal information.
