“…Several reasons could explain this positive change. First, lack of knowledge is an important cause of target population's absenteeism from cancer detection (Dumky et al., 2023). Teletechnology has established portals for users to acquire medical resources.…”

BackgroundCancer screening is a pivotal method for reducing mortality from disease, but the screening coverage is still lower than expected. Telehealth interventions demonstrated significant benefits in cancer care, yet there is currently no consensus on their impact on facilitating cancer screening or on the most effective remote technology.DesignA network meta‐analysis was conducted to detect the impact of telehealth interventions on cancer screening and to identify the most effective teletechnologies.MethodsSix English databases were searched from inception until July 2023 to yield relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Two individual authors completed the literature selection, data extraction, and methodological evaluations using the Cochrane Risk of Bias tool. Traditional pairwise analysis and network meta‐analysis were performed to identify the overall effects and compare different teletechnologies.ResultsThirty‐four eligible RCTs involving 131,644 participants were enrolled. Overall, telehealth interventions showed statistically significant effects on the improvement of cancer screening. Subgroup analyses revealed that telehealth interventions were most effective for breast and cervical cancer screening, and rural populations also experienced benefits, but there was no improvement in screening for older adults. The network meta‐analysis indicated that mobile applications, video plus telephone, and text message plus telephone were associated with more obvious improvements in screening than other teletechnologies.ConclusionOur study identified that telehealth interventions were effective for the completion of cancer screening and clarified the exact impact of telehealth on different cancer types, ages, and rural populations. Mobile applications, video plus telephone, and text message plus telephone are the three forms of teletechnologies most likely to improve cancer screening. More well‐designed RCTs involving direct comparisons of different teletechnologies are needed in the future.Clinical RelevanceTelehealth interventions should be encouraged to facilitate cancer screening, and the selection of the optimal teletechnology based on the characteristics of the population is also necessary.

Aim The aim of this study was to summarize the latest research reports about immigrant women and attendance in breast cancer screening. Design Scoping review. Methods Literature searches were made in CINAHL, PubMed, Web of Science, Google Scholar, Oatd and Oalster. Twenty‐three articles were included in the study. Data were analysed with inductive content analysis. Results Out of data four main categories were formed: attendance rates, incidence, barriers and facilitators, and knowledge and perception. The results show that attendance rates, barriers and facilitators for attendance, knowledge and experience of breast cancer and breast cancer screening differ between several factors such as the woman's migrant background, country of origin, religion, length of stay in the new home country and sociodemographic factors.
