MATCH-UP: MAking Telehealth-Delivery of Cancer Care at Home Effective and Safe-Upscaled: A Pragmatic Cluster Randomized Trial

July 30, 2026 updated by: Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center
Many people with cancer spend a lot of time and money traveling to and from the doctor's office for cancer care. MSK's goal is to make getting cancer care easier by cutting down the need to make in-person visits to MSK. MSK is trying to do this through a new option called enhanced telehealth.
