In this study of a multiethnic cohort of patients with breast cancer, our findings suggest that neighborhood-level socioeconomic disparities exist in telemedicine use and that telehealth visits could be used to provide treatment consultation and cancer genetic counseling. Oncology programs should address these disparities and needs to improve care delivery and achieve telehealth equity for their patient populations.
