我们调查了北挪威大学医院的肿瘤学家和博多诺德兰医院肿瘤和姑息治疗部门的同事之间使用电子邮件和视频会议进行临床和教育支持的可行性。在12个月期间，通过电子邮件发送了23例病例（20例患者）和4个一般问题，并计划举行32次视频会议。乳腺癌和结直肠癌是电子邮件中最常见的诊断（59%）。大多数病例（15/23）接受了局部治疗。虽然五次视频会议由于电信和/或用户问题而失败，但视频会议在博多的远程肿瘤学家教育中仍然取得了成功。该研究表明，远程医疗可以用于将远程姑息治疗单元纳入大学系。
We investigated the feasibility of using email and videoconferencing for clinical and educational support between oncologists at the University Hospital of North Norway and colleagues at the oncology and palliative care unit of the Nordland Hospital in Bodo. During a 12-month period, 23 cases (20 patients) and four general questions were sent by email and 32 videoconferences were planned. Breast and colorectal cancer were the most frequent diagnoses (59%) in the email messages. Most cases (15/23) were treated locally. Although five videoconferences failed due to telecommunication and/or user problems, videoconferencing was still a success in the education of the remote oncologists in Bodo. The study demonstrated that telemedicine can be used to incorporate a remote palliative care unit into a university department.
