向患者和整个社会传播科学知识从未像现代这样重要。由于最近的大流行，科学传播（SC）随着时间的推移而演变，与通用语言的分歧越来越大，这一点已经变得显而易见。然而，同样明确的是，医疗保健专业人员必须正确使用它，以避免对观众造成严重的理解问题。当前，科学技术是进步和创新的核心；因此，向民众适当传播准确且易于获取的信息对于确保不让任何人掉队并促进社会的凝聚力进步至关重要。本综述旨在分析 SC 和科学方法 (SM) 的概念，研究它们之间的关系，并就如何在更广泛的背景下以及与肿瘤患者沟通的特定领域中正确整合它们提供建议。版权所有 © 2024 作者（s）。由 Elsevier B.V. 出版。保留所有权利。

The communication of scientific knowledge to patients and society as a whole has never been more central than in modern times. Thanks to the recent pandemic, it has become evident how Scientific Communication (SC) has evolved over time, increasingly diverging from common language. However, it is also clear that it must be properly used by healthcare professionals to avoid comprehension issues that could be severe for the audience. Presently, science and technology are at the heart of progress and innovation; therefore, the proper dissemination of accurate yet accessible information to the population is vital to ensure that no one is left behind and to promote cohesive social advancement. This review aims to analyze the notions of SC and Scientific Method (SM), examining the relationships between them and providing suggestions on how to integrate them properly in both a broader context and the specific field of communication with oncology patients.Copyright © 2024 The Author(s).
