Sumario:Despite high distress and unmet informational and psychosocial needs, and recommendations for development of advanced breast cancer (ABC)‐specific resources, there remains a paucity of appropriate, accessible psychological interventions. This survey study examined internet use and preferences of women with ABC, to gauge feasibility of providing an ABC‐specific internet intervention. Most participants (83%) used the internet daily. Results indicated most women with ABC would find an ABC‐specific internet intervention helpful, and that it would address gaps in current internet resources, including provision of strategies to manage treatment side‐effects and fear of cancer progression.
