Surgical videos from patients with cervical and endometrial carcinoma undergoing minimally invasive sentinel lymph node dissection were collected.

The Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF) was used to undertake this study. Interviews were conducted with oncologists, physician assistants, and nurses who actively manage this patient population.

Overall, 73% of the 15 clinicians (50% of the oncologists) participating in this study were willing to provide asynchronous care to patients on PARPi who were clinically stable. Several themes emerged representing considerations for moving forward with this model of care, including selecting the ideal patients, streamlined access to information, safe and effective escalations, perceived acceptability of the asynchronous model by clinicians, reimbursement, and an opportunity and willingness to innovate. Participants recognized the potential benefits of an asynchronous care model for patients on PARPi therapy who are clinically stable and the opportunity to innovate while optimizing the use of limited clinic resources.
