National Cancer Institute-funded grants focused on synchronous telehealth cancer care delivery: a portfolio analysis.

NCI has observed an increase in funded synchronous patient-provider telehealth grants.

As telehealth is integrated into routine cancer care delivery, additional research evidence will be needed to inform clinical practice.
