Cancer J. 2024 Jan-Feb 01;30(1):8-15. doi: 10.1097/PPO.0000000000000691.ABSTRACTTelemedicine holds the potential to transform cancer care delivery and optimize value, access, and quality of care. A transformed regulatory environment coupled with the need to continue medical care despite operational limitations led to the rapid expansion of telemedicine in cancer care during the COVID-19 pandemic.
