The Adolescent and Young Adult (AYA) survivorship clinic at Tufts Medical Center transitioned to telehealth appointments when ambulatory clinics closed at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020. This review analyzes 195 survivorship telehealth visits for 90 patients, diagnosed with cancer younger than the age of 40 years. This cohort, seen during the Massachusetts State of Emergency, exemplifies the success and acceptance of telehealth among AYA survivors. The clinic's long-term goal is to advocate for telehealth as a standard in AYA survivorship care; however, telehealth faces increasing barriers as modifications to address the pandemic are amended or lifted.
