A recent Mayo Clinic study has validated the health system’s at-home cancer care model, according to an announcement. Treatment involves home chemotherapy.

10 participants received IV chemotherapy infusions in the comfort of their homes. Of the 93 administered infusions, none resulted in any safety events or catheter-related infections. The safety of the home treatment was comparable to receiving treatment in-clinic.

Mayo Clinic's Cancer CARE Beyond Walls (Connected Access and Remote Expertise) model aims to reduce some of the burden on cancer patients. Study participants reported satisfaction with their home care and “said they would recommend the model to others.”
