The study aimed to analyse vitamin D information exposure, attitudes, and practices, including the use of vitamin D and other supplements as well as serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [(25(OH)D)] testing, among breast cancer and prostate cancer survivors in the context of patient\u2013physician communication. Material and methods: This cross-sectional survey included 145 breast and prostate cancer survivors (mean age 62.2 \u00b1 9.9 years) who participated using an original, validated questionnaire. Results: Between cancer diagnosis and survey completion, more than 52% of respondents reported vitamin D supplementation, and nearly 65% declared using supplements other than vitamin D in relation to their cancer. However, only 17.3% of respondents had been instructed by their physician to take vitamin D, and only 5.5% had been ordered by their physician to have their serum 25(OH)D levels tested. The majority of respondents (94%) perceived the need for physicians to routinely order vitamin D level tests for patients diagnosed with cancer. Only 39.5% of vitamin D users and 7.5% of other supplement users stated that their oncology care physicians knew about their supplement intake. The most common reason for patients not to inform their physician about taking vitamin D and\/or other supplements was that the physician did not ask about this issue. Almost all aspects analysed showed greater health information exposure and better communication skills with physicians among women than among men. Conclusions: It appears reasonable to improve physician\u2013patient communication and broaden consideration of patients\u2019 needs, which suggests a direction for further studies on the role of routine 25(OH)D testing in the standard care of patients with breast and prostate cancer.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nu18030427","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,28]],"date-time":"2026-01-28T15:56:12Z","timestamp":1769615772000},"page":"427","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Vitamin D-Related Information Exposure, Attitudes, and Practices Among Prostate and Breast Cancer Survivors in Poland: Implications for Patient\u2013Physician Communication"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5601-6648","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anita","family":"Miko\u0142ajczyk","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology and Sociology of Health and Public Health, Collegium Medicum, University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn, Warszawska Str. 30, 10-082 Olsztyn, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0008-1617-5063","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Karolina","family":"Kaczmarczyk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Student Scientific Group of Public Health Research, Collegium Medicum, University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn, Warszawska Str. 30, 10-082 Olsztyn, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mateusz","family":"Miko\u0142ajczyk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Masovian Dental Center Ltd., Nowy Zjazd Str. 1, 00-301 Warsaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"3029","DOI":"10.1002\/cncr.33587","article-title":"The Ever-increasing Importance of Cancer as a Leading Cause of Premature Death Worldwide","volume":"127","author":"Bray","year":"2021","journal-title":"Cancer"},{"key":"ref_2","first-page":"229","article-title":"Global Cancer Statistics 2022: GLOBOCAN Estimates of Incidence and Mortality Worldwide for 36 Cancers in 185 Countries","volume":"74","author":"Bray","year":"2024","journal-title":"CA Cancer J.
