This book explains how telemedicine can offer solutions capable of
improving the care and survival rates of cancer patients and can
also help patients to live a normal life in spite of their
condition. Different fields of application - community, hospital
and home based - are examined, and detailed attention is paid to
the use of tele-oncology in rural/extreme rural settings and in
developing countries. The impact of new technologies and the
opportunities afforded by the social web are both discussed. The
concluding chapters consider eLearning in relation to cancer care
and assess the scope for education to improve prevention. No
medical condition can shatter people's lives as cancer does today
and the need to develop strategies to reduce the disease burden and
improve quality of life is paramount. Readers will find this new
volume in Springer's TELe Health series to be a rich source of
information on the important contribution that can be made by
telemedicine in achieving these goals.
