Videoconsultation During Follow-Up Care of Patients with a Neuroendocrine Tumor.

#1766

Introduction: Patients with a neuroendocrine tumor (NET) are increasingly treated in expert centers leading to longer travel times for medical consultations. Videoconsultation (VC) potentially allows remote guidance of patients.

Aim(s): The primary aim of this study is to assess feasibility of VC during follow-up care of NET patients.

Materials and methods: Twenty clinical stable patients received two VCs during follow-up care. Feasibility was assessed by calculation of participation/dropout rate and safety. Satisfaction questionnaires were filled out by patients and physicians. VC time, patient-reported travel time for an outpatient clinic visit and preference for type of consultation were noted.
