NCT ID NCT06954337
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 31, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether a new telehealth program can help people with breast or prostate cancer get care from home instead of traveling to the doctor's office. About 1,750 patients at Memorial Sloan Kettering will take part. The goal is to see if this approach reduces the number of in-person visits while keeping care safe and effective.
