Specialists from Cancer Centers in the United States have highlighted the importance of telemedicine during the pandemic.<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The National Cancer Institute (NCI), part of the National Institutes of Health (NHI), believes that cancer patients could continue to use telemedicine care even after the pandemic.<\/p>

Through telemedicine tools, the NCI and other specialized centers have followed up pediatric patients diagnosed with cancer. \u201cTelemedicine has the potential to address health disparities,\u201d explained Dr. Urmimala Sarkar, associate director of the Center for Vulnerable Populations at the University of California, San Francisco.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

"Since underserved populations disproportionately face issues such as transportation barriers, time lost from work, and concurrent care delivery needs, telemedicine can alleviate many of those issues and needs," he added.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

For example, the Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center (VICC) in Nashville, TN, conducted diagnostic video calls during the pandemic, which involves reviewing the medical records of pediatric patients. In this way, the specialist provides information to families about the available treatment options, as well as specific information about the type of condition.<\/p>

The most important thing about this care scheme is the ease and speed of consultations, since it avoids transfers of several hours to families who live in other parts of Tennessee. This allows the parents of the patients not to need to be absent from work for full days to receive diagnostic care.<\/p>

\u201cAlthough it can't completely replace in-person care, telemedicine offers patients convenience, savings of time and money, scheduling flexibility, access to specialists who are far away, and what many patients and doctors describe as intangible benefits, for example, less exposure to microbes,\u201d explains the NCI.<\/p>

On the other hand, Dr. Kevin M. Curtis, medical director of the Norris Cotton Cancer Center Telemedicine Center, explained that: \u201cRecently, about 12 % of oncology outpatient consultations are performed by telemedicine.\u201d In this way, the experience during the pandemic exploited the potential of telemedicine to improve timely access to medical care.<\/p>

In this sense, the NCI explains that the benefits of telemedicine have not been exclusive to oncology, as it has also benefited primary care patients, such as cardiology, among others.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Especialistas de Centros Oncol\u00f3gicos en Estados Unidos, han destacado la importancia de la telemedicina durante la pandemia. El Instituto Nacional del C\u00e1ncer (NCI, en ingl\u00e9s), perteneciente a los Institutos Nacionales de Salud (NHI, en ingl\u00e9s), considera que los pacientes de c\u00e1ncer podr\u00edan continuar utilizando atenci\u00f3n por telemedicina incluso despu\u00e9s de la pandemia. A trav\u00e9s de herramientas de telemedicina, el NCI, y otros centros especializados, han realizado seguimiento a pacientes pedi\u00e1tricos con diagn\u00f3stico de c\u00e1ncer. \u201cLa telemedicina tiene el potencial de abordar las desigualdades en salud\u201d, explic\u00f3 la doctora Urmimala Sarkar, directora asociada del Centro de Poblaciones Vulnerables de la Universidad de California en San Francisco. \u201cDado que las poblaciones marginadas enfrentan de forma desproporcionada problemas como barreras del transporte, tiempo perdido del trabajo y necesidades concurrentes de prestaci\u00f3n de cuidados, la telemedicina puede aliviar muchos de esos problemas y necesidades\u201d, agreg\u00f3. Por ejemplo, el Centro Oncol\u00f3gico Vanderbilt-Ingram (VICC) de Nashville, TN, durante la pandemia realiz\u00f3 videollamadas de diagn\u00f3stico, que consisten en examinar la historia cl\u00ednica de los pacientes pedi\u00e1tricos. De esta forma el especialista brinda informaci\u00f3n a las familias sobre las opciones disponibles de tratamiento, as\u00ed como informaci\u00f3n espec\u00edfica sobre el tipo de condici\u00f3n. Lo m\u00e1s importante de este esquema de atenci\u00f3n, es la facilidad y la rapidez de las consultas, ya que evita traslados de varias horas a familias que viven en otras localidades de Tennessee. Esto permite que los padres de los pacientes, no necesiten ausentarse d\u00edas completos en su trabajo para recibir la atenci\u00f3n diagn\u00f3stica. \u201cAunque no puede sustituir del todo la atenci\u00f3n en persona, la telemedicina ofrece a los pacientes comodidad, ahorro de tiempo y dinero, flexibilidad de horarios, acceso a especialistas que se encuentran lejos, y lo que muchos pacientes y m\u00e9dicos describen como beneficios intangibles, por ejemplo, una menor exposici\u00f3n a los microbios\u201d, explica el NCI. Por otra parte, en el doctor Kevin M. Curtis, director m\u00e9dico del Centro de Telemedicina del Centro Oncol\u00f3gico Norris Cotton, explic\u00f3 que: “Desde hace poco, cerca del 12 % de las consultas ambulatorias de oncolog\u00eda se realizan por telemedicina\u201d. De esta forma la experiencia durante la pandemia explot\u00f3 el potencial de la telemedicina para mejorar el acceso oportuno a la atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica. En este sentido el NCI, explica que los beneficios de la telemedicina no han sido exclusivos para la oncolog\u00eda, ya tambi\u00e9n ha beneficiado a pacientes de atenci\u00f3n primaria, como cardiolog\u00eda, entre otras.
