Abstract:  Social media use is ubiquitous among young adults. Young adults with cancer must make important decisions about where, what, and how to share information on social media.

This column aims to review a variety of social media platforms that may be used by young adults with cancer and provide guidance to nurses on initiating open dialogue with young adults about social media usage.
