The four centres are MATCHES (Making Telehealth Delivery of Cancer Care at Home Effective and Safe) at Memorial Sloan Kettering, project 1P50CA271357; STELLAR (Scalable TELeheaLth Cancer CARe) at Northwestern University, 1P50CA271353; THRIVE (Telehealth Research and Innovation for Veterans with Cancer) at NYU Grossman School of Medicine with the Veterans Health Administration, 1P50CA271358; and Penn TRACE at the University of Pennsylvania, 1P50CA271338, which uses lung cancer care as its model.
