摘要

Purpose of Review

Telehealth is emerging as an integral part of care along the Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) care continuum. In this review, we highlight the innovative ways telehealth is used to facilitate HCC care delivery and novel opportunities to leverage telehealth tools toward improved patient outcomes in HCC.

Recent Findings

Telehealth tools demonstrate effectiveness in key aspects of HCC care. Televisits maintain HCC surveillance adherence and improve patient access to HCC specialty care. Furthermore, teleconsultations provide unique pathways for the multidisciplinary evaluation and management of patients with HCC without the need for direct patient contact. Lastly, mobile application-based and remote patient monitoring tools show increasing promise in identifying and addressing patient symptoms and complications related to HCC and cirrhosis.

Summary

Telehealth has revolutionized the delivery of HCC care. As telehealth adoption and use cases increase, the field will move closer to ensuring specialty HCC care is more accessible regardless of geography.
