Background: Currently, there are no telemedicine models that fully integrate all areas of hematology into daily practice.
Objective: The objectives of this feasibility study were to assess the practicality of implementing telemedicine into our clinical practice in the first Digital Hematology Unit and propose an innovative integrative design for clinical practice.
Methods: We designed the Digital Hematology Unit, which is a specific physical space dedicated to carrying out telemedicine and monitoring patients in a holistic way.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the actual impact of positron-emission tomography (PET) on medical decision-making in Oncology, moving beyond previous surveys with low response rates.
- A review was conducted involving 100 patients who received (18)F-FDG PET, revealing that 63% had their diagnostic strategies changed, while 34% experienced alterations in therapeutic management, with most changes deemed appropriate.
- The findings indicate that PET significantly influences the management of cancer patients, suggesting it should be integrated as a standard diagnostic tool in Oncology practice.
Patients with known tumors can have other tumors in unexpected places, the so-called synchronic or second primary cancers. In these patients, whole-body fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) to study known tumors can identify other tumors that would escape notice if only the sites of known tumors were investigated. We present 3 patients in whom whole-body FDG-PET was requested to study known tumors: 2 lung cancers and one melanoma.
