Abstract

Aim: This study was designed with a primary objective to study the rate of agreement in treatment plan and decisions between video follow-up (VF) and conventional clinic follow-up (CF).

Patients & methods: Adult patients with intermediate- to high-grade glioma on adjuvant temozolomide (TMZ) with facilities for live video call were invited to participate in the study.

Results: The concurrence in decision of administering TMZ between VF and CF was 100% (p < 0.00). The median cost incurred in VF was US$58.15 while that incurred in CF was US$131.23 (p < 0.00).

Conclusion: VF can substitute CF during adjuvant TMZ administration (CTRI/2017/01/007626).

Keywords: clinic based; clinical; follow-up; glioma; surveillance; telephonic; video; visual.
