Digital health and telehealth in cancer care: A scoping review of reviews
Open accessAbstract
The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated remote cancer care delivery via the internet and telephone, rapidly accelerating an already growing care delivery model and associated research. This scoping review of reviews characterised the peer-reviewed literature reviews on digital health and telehealth interventions in cancer published from database inception up to May 1, 2022, from PubMed, Cumulated Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, PsycINFO, Cochrane Reviews, and Web of Science. Eligible reviews conducted a systematic literature search. Data were extracted in duplicate via a pre-defined online survey. Following screening, 134 reviews met the eligibility criteria. 77 of those reviews were published since 2020. 128 reviews summarised interventions intended for patients, 18 addressed family caregivers, and five addressed health-care providers. 56 reviews did not target a specific phase of the cancer continuum, whereas 48 reviews tended to address the active treatment phase. 29 reviews included a meta-analysis, with results showing positive effects on quality of life, psychological outcomes, and screening behaviours. 83 reviews did not report intervention implementation outcomes but when reported, 36 reported acceptability, 32 feasibility, and 29 fidelity outcomes. Several notable gaps were identified in these literature reviews on digital health and telehealth in cancer care. No reviews specifically addressed older adults, bereavement, or sustainability of interventions and only two reviews focused on comparing telehealth to in-person interventions. Addressing these gaps with rigorous systematic reviews might help guide continued innovation in remote cancer care, particularly for older adults and bereaved families, and integrate and sustain these interventions within oncology.

TL;DR
This scoping review of reviews characterised 134 peer-reviewed literature reviews on digital health and telehealth interventions in cancer care published from database inception to May 1, 2022. It found a rapidly growing but uneven evidence base, with positive meta-analytic signals for some outcomes and major gaps in older adults, bereavement, provider wellness, implementation sustainability, and comparisons with in-person care.
Key findings
- 134 reviews met eligibility criteria; 77 were published since 2020, and the median number of studies included per review was 16 (range 0–121).
- 128 reviews (95·5%) addressed patient-level interventions, 18 (13·4%) included caregiver-level studies, and 5 (3·7%) addressed provider-level interventions; no reviews focused on older adult patients with cancer or caregivers.
- 29 reviews (21·6%) included a meta-analysis; positive effects were most commonly reported for quality of life (11 positive, 6 null), depression (9 positive, 4 null), anxiety (8 positive, 3 null), self-efficacy (5 positive, no null), physical activity (4 positive, 1 null), and cancer screenings (4 positive, no null).
- 83 reviews (61·9%) did not report implementation outcomes; when reported, acceptability was extracted in 36 (26·9%), feasibility in 32 (23·9%), and fidelity in 29 (21·6%), with no reviews extracting penetration or sustainability.
Methods
- Scoping review of reviews registered in INPLASY (protocol 3635) and reported per PRISMA for Scoping Reviews; searches covered PubMed, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Cochrane Reviews, and Web of Science from database inception to May 1, 2022.
- Eligible records were English or English-translated peer-reviewed literature reviews using a systematic search method, focused on cancer populations and digital health or telehealth interventions as defined by the US Health Resources and Services Administration.
- Screening and data extraction were done in duplicate with Rayyan and Qualtrics; data were tabled and summarised, and implementation outcomes were categorised post hoc using Proctor and colleagues’ terminology.
Limitations
- The paper states that as a scoping review of reviews, identified gaps only establish that a review was not identified in a given area and might not generalise to the primary literature; it also notes that restricting to cancer could miss disease-agnostic reviews and that health equity information such as racial/ethnic composition or rurality was not extracted.
- Evident from the results: no reviews specifically addressed older adults, bereavement, sustainability of interventions, or oncology provider wellbeing, and only two reviews focused on comparing telehealth to in-person interventions.
- Evident from the results: 44 of 134 reviews (32·8%) did not report a quality or bias assessment, and 83 of 134 (61·9%) did not report implementation-related outcomes.

The Introduction (page not provided) says research in remote cancer-care delivery accelerated abruptly during the pandemic, and the Abstract describes rapid growth in that care model. Those passages support acceleration in one area of care, but not the broader claim of an unprecedented period of health-system innovation or workforce transformation. (LLM, conf=0.85)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredMany adaptations initially introduced as emergency responses are moving towards becoming sustainable and are increasingly recognized as important strategies for addressing ongoing workforce shortages, improving access, and strengthening health system resilience in the post-pandemic era.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Claims read by deepseek-v4.1-flash under definition version 3 (extract-v3) on 2026-10-08.
Classified by jev-1.13-20260917 (gold-guideline-v0.2) on 2026-10-08.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
