Summary

This study looks at how well a telehealth program called National TeleOncology works for veterans newly diagnosed with lung, colorectal, prostate, or breast cancer. Researchers will track how many veterans use telehealth visits and whether the program affects the quality of care and costs. The goal is to see if virtual cancer care can be a good alternative to in-person visits.
