Dr. Lilenbaum on the Challenges of Integrating Telehealth Services in Lung Cancer

Rogerio C. Lilenbaum, MD, director, Banner MD Anderson Cancer Center, discusses the challenges of integrating telehealth services in lung cancer.

In the era of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), telehealth has become a key tool in the continuum of patient care. However, despite best efforts to streamline virtual care before the COVID-19 pandemic, challenges remain in utilizing telehealth to its full potential, says Lilenbaum.

Although many of these hurdles have been overcome over the course of the pandemic, it is not fully understood what role telemedicine will play in cancer care after the pandemic, concludes Lilenbaum.
