ABSTRACT
Web-based technologies in general, and Net Conferencing in specific, have provided new opportunities to enhance communication among health care professionals, human services providers, and clients and patients in the field of oncology. This article explores the use of Net Conferencing to enhance cancer education and training, planning, and strategic planning, and examines potential benefits and costs related to its use. Recommendations for future studies are presented, with a focus on formal evaluation research on the use of Net Conferencing in comparison to other forms of communication technology.
