Abstract

PURPOSE OF REVIEW Telemedicine quickly became integrated into healthcare caused by the Coronavirus 19 (COVID-19) pandemic. Rapid use of telemedicine into healthcare systems was supported by the World Health Organization and other prominent national organizations to reduce transmission of the virus while continuing to provide access to care. In this review, we explored the effect of this swift change in care and its impact on older adults with cancer. RECENT FINDINGS Older adults are susceptible to the COVID-19 virus caused by various risk factors, such as comorbidity, frailty, decreased immunity, and cancer increases vulnerability to infection, hospitalization, and mortality. We found three major themes emerged in the literature published in the past 18 months, including access to care, telemedicine modes of communication, and the use of technology by older adults with cancer. These findings have brought insight into issues regarding healthcare disparities. SUMMARY The utilization of telemedicine by older adults with cancer has potential future benefits with the integration of technology preparation prior to the patient's initial visit and addressing known health disparities. The hybrid model of care provides in-person and or remote access to clinicians which may allow older adults with cancer the flexibility needed to obtain quality cancer care.

老年肿瘤远程医疗--从 COVID-19 经验中汲取的教训。

审查目的由于冠状病毒 19（COVID-19）大流行，远程医疗迅速融入医疗保健领域。在世界卫生组织和其他著名国家组织的支持下，远程医疗被迅速应用到医疗保健系统中，以减少病毒传播，同时继续提供医疗服务。在这篇综述中，我们探讨了这一迅速改变的护理方式的效果及其对患有癌症的老年人的影响。最新发现老年人容易感染 COVID-19 病毒，这是由各种风险因素造成的，如合并症、虚弱、免疫力下降以及癌症增加了感染、住院和死亡的可能性。我们发现，在过去 18 个月中发表的文献中出现了三大主题，包括获得护理、远程医疗沟通模式以及癌症老年人对技术的使用。这些发现使我们对医疗保健差异问题有了更深入的了解。总结老年癌症患者使用远程医疗具有潜在的未来益处，即在患者初次就诊前整合技术准备，并解决已知的健康差异问题。混合护理模式提供了与临床医生面对面或远程接触的机会，可使老年癌症患者获得高质量癌症护理所需的灵活性。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
