The search for health information on the Internet is fundamentally associated with the diagnosis of a disease of the user or a relative and it can be considered the first source to which they come after a medical consultation(Marín-Torres et al., isanidad.com, 2015; 2012; III Barómetro PIC, 2019; INE, 2019;).The main barriers to the access and use of eHealth have to do with the readability of the content and with a poor usability of the sites (Cline and Haynes, 2001; Kim and Xie, 2017). Added to this, the enormous volume of data available on the network in the current context is what makes it essential to develop analysis protocols that allow users to identify in a comprehensible way the sites that offer quality information both in their content and in their presentation.This research proposes an analysis of the corporate sites of three Spanish institutions of recognized prestige —and diverse nature—in the field of cancer promotion and prevention: Asociación Española Contra el Cáncer, Grupo Español de Pacientes con Cáncer and Fundación para la Educación Pública y la Formación en Cáncer; addressing both the usability and the type of information offered, in order to know the status of online information on cancer in Spain and to identify good practices in comvbmunication about the disease
