“…The high-end synchronous systems, such as telesynergy systems, 12 robotic telesurgery, 13 and virtual microscopy, 14 are likely to be used only in resource-rich countries. Because they can transmit high-resolution images for clinical, pathological, and radiological diagnosis, many hospitals in the US and Europe use them to overcome local lack of expertise.…”

“…Advanced methods such as Tesynergy, 12 virtual microscopy, 13 and robotic telesurgery 14 are unlikely to significantly improve health care in LMC. 69 Expensive technologies invite the mismanagement of funds and may actually increase the gap in cancer care if access is available only to the wealthy.…”

Access to quality cancer care is often unavailable not only in low- and middle-income countries but also in rural or remote areas of high-income countries. Teleoncology (oncology applications of medical telecommunications, including pathology, radiology, and other related disciplines) has the potential to enhance both access to and the quality of clinical cancer care as well as education and training. Its implementation in the developing world requires an approach tailored to priorities, resources, and needs. We believe that teleoncology can best achieve its proposed goals through programmatic, consistent, and long-term application. Here we review teleoncology initiatives that have the potential to decrease cancer care inequality between resource-poor and resource-rich institutions and offer guidelines for the development of teleoncology programs in low- and middle-income countries.

The advancements in the fields of technology and networking have revolutionized the world including the fields of medicine and dentistry. Telemedicine and its various branches provide a broad platform to medical professionals for consultations and investigations and can also act as a valuable educational aid. This review highlights the components, methods employed, clinical applications, advantages, disadvantages of telepathology and telecytology.

“…Another advantage of Internet-based systems is that many clients can simultaneously view, and confer over, a single specimen [2][3][4]8 ; the use of common Web-browser software increases this potential enormously 1,3 . To aid communication between clients, Wolf et al provide a neat Java-based interactive pointer overlaying the image; movements of the pointer by any one client can be seen by all.…”
