Experience of Telemedicine Visits in Radiation Oncology During the COVID-19 Pandemic: A US National Survey and Lessons Learned for Incorporating Telemedicine Post-COVID-19

Ting Martin Ma et al.

Summary: This study surveyed the attitudes and perceptions of US radiation oncologists toward the adoption of telemedicine during the COVID-19 pandemic. The results showed that a significant percentage of respondents used telemedicine for new consultations, follow-up, and on-treatment visits. While there were advantages such as convenience for patients and reduced transmission of infections, there were also perceived disadvantages related to physical examinations and technical issues. Overall, most respondents were in favor of continuing telemedicine even after the pandemic.
