Telehealth Triumphs for Palliative Care Delivery in Patients With Lung Cancer

Not only can palliative care be delivered effectively by telehealth to patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer, it's also as effective as face-to-face delivery by specialist clinicians, according to a study reported at the 2024 ASCO Annual Meeting. In addition, telehealth turned out to be more popular.  For the Oncology Times podcast, OncTimesTalk, correspondent Peter Goodwin spoke with Joseph A. Greer, PhD, lead author of the study and Co-Director of the Cancer Outcomes Research and Education Program at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School.
