Patient Perspectives on Virtual vs In-Person Posttreatment Care for Brain Metastases.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

This study aims to explore perspectives of patients with brain metastasis on posttreatment care, comparing virtual and in-person visits, and identifying factors shaping those views.

Methods and materials

One hundred twenty-three participants returned the survey, and 112 completed at least 80% of it, a criterion for inclusion. Patients received posttreatment follow-up care either virtually, in-person, or both.
