Objectives:
There are several challenges in providing healthcare services for lung cancer patients. Using teleoncology is an effective solution to meet such challenges. Given this, we in this study aimed to identify the features of teleoncology in lung cancer.
Methods:
We conducted this scoping review in 2023. We first searched scientific databases including PubMed, Scopus, ISI Web of Sciences, and Science Direct by combining related keywords for the past 12 years (2012-2023).
Results:
After reviewing 860 articles, we selected 39 studies for the purpose of this study. The interventions of teleoncology for lung cancer patients have four main categories, namely: monitoring of symptoms, monitoring the process of treatment and rehabilitation of patients, self-management and patient empowerment, and providing consultation for patients.
Conclusion:
The appropriate implementation of teleoncology systems improves the patient's condition and reduces lung cancer complications by improving the availability of different health services.
Practice Implications:
More attention should be paid to the evaluation of telemedicine systems from the perspective of patients and health service providers. Also, the latest platforms, including mobile phone-based software, should be used to implement such systems.

Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...

Tumor Progression
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...
