From Eric Braeden announces that he is cancer free to Tom Jones dying from cancer, this is what’s happening in the oncology space this week.
YouTube announced Tuesday that it will update its policies to tackle medical misinformation. Under the new policies, videos that deny known medical conditions or promote sham therapies will be removed.
YouTube said in a blog post that listed treatments include "garlic cures cancer," or "take vitamin C instead of radiation therapy", which would be removed.
YouTube will age-gate content or surface an information panel under such videos for additional context.
New guidelines lay out how health content will be reviewed.
