摘要：Breast cancer is one of the main diseases that affect the health of women in the world and strategies aimed at improving women’s access to information on prevention are fundamental. The objective of the study presented in this article was to assess the quality of some videos related to breast cancer. The videos were searched using the keyword ‘breast cancer’ on the YouTube platform. The data referring to the technical information was obtained through the analysis of the information contained in the description of the videos and subsequently their content analysis was carried out. The first 200 most viewed videos were extracted for analysis. The majority (72%) and those aiming to disseminate informative content to laypeople (73%) and focusing on secondary prevention (71.5%) are considered bad or very bad (53%). It was concluded that YouTube is a limited tool to be used in the process of educating women about the control of breast cancer.
