Nurse-led remote symptom management for chemotherapy toxicity and quality of life in lymphoma: a quasi-experimental study
Nurse-led telehealth coaching reduces chemotherapy side effects and improves quality of life in lymphoma patients.
A structured nurse-led telehealth program for lymphoma patients reduced key grade ≥2 chemotherapy toxicities and improved QoL across 429 participants compared to standard care. These results support integration of remote symptom management into oncology care, particularly for resource-constrained settings.
