Technology-Enabled Patient and Physician Activation to Enhance Skin Cancer Screening After HCT: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Technology helped transplant survivors get better skin cancer screening in a group with unusually high risk.

A technology-enabled RCT improved patient and physician activation for skin cancer screening in allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant survivors, a population at elevated cancer surveillance risk. This record was retained from the prior triage attempt for PubMed pipeline handoff.

Why it surfaced

RCT in an actionable survivorship care gap with direct clinical applicability; HCT survivors have 2–5× elevated skin cancer risk; technology-enabled screening interventions can be rapidly adopted at transplant centers.
