Telemedicine in Retinoblastoma: A Review.

2025-03-03

Purpose: To perform a scoping review of the literature investigating the use of telemedicine in retinoblastoma (RB) care, as well as its integration into broader health-care systems worldwide. Methods: A comprehensive search of academic databases, Medline and Embase, as well as public, web-based sources, was performed. Article references were also screened for inclusion within the review. Only English-language sources that presented evidence of dedicated frameworks incorporating telemedicine-based RB care were included. Results: The review identified 57 peer-reviewed studies, of which 19 were found potentially eligible for inclusion. Following exclusion criteria and a web-based search, 11 sources referencing 10 telemedicine frameworks, comprising four peer-reviewed articles, and seven publicly available initiatives, were included. Major themes leveraging telemedicine in RB care included knowledge exchange and capacity building, the establishment of direct partnerships incorporating teleconsultation, and the development of care coordination networks. Many telehealth platforms were effectively integrated into health-care systems; however, challenges included the absence of RB specific initiatives, the need for publicly available, measurable peer-reviewed outcomes and the complexities of multidimensional RB care. Conclusion: Tele-efforts have the potential to enhance delivery of RB care to remote, resource-limited communities. Future research should explore improved integration of policy-driven telemedicine within health-care systems, assess the economic feasibility of providing such care, and facilitate empirical evaluations, ultimately leading to increased sustainability, funding and investment of these models.
