This study focuses on cancer patients participating in teleconsultations through a regional telemedicine platform in China, analyzes the consultation process, and provides references for the clinical application of telemedicine.  \nMethods We collected information on teleconsultations of cancer patients conducted from 2015 to 2022 through the regional telemedicine platform. Utilizing SPSS 23.0 software, we conducted descriptive analysis to summarize the distribution of patient gender, age, region, and disease types. The ordinal logistic regression analysis was adopted to analyze the factors influencing the waiting time and consultation duration for teleconsultations.  \nResults From 2015 to 2022, a total of 23,060 teleconsultations were conducted for cancer patients via regional telemedicine platform, with an average growth rate of 11 . 09% . The main types of consultations were for lung cancer, liver cancer, and breast cancer, accounting for 18. 14%, 10.49%, and 9.46% respectively. 57. 05% of teleconsultationshad a waiting time of less than 24 h, while patient age, consultation expert level, and disease type were the main factors influencing the waiting time. 50.06% of teleconsultations had a duration of more than 20 min, and the inviting hospital level and the title of invited consultant were the main factors influencing the consultation duration. Conclusions In China, telemedicine has been widely employed in the clinical diagnosis and treatment of cancers, covering various types of oncological diseases. However, the waiting time for teleconsultations was generally  \nmore than 12 h, indicating the need to enhance consultation scheduling and allocate more expert resources to further optimize the efficiency of teleconsultations. Additionally, further exploration is required for remote health management of outpatients with cancers outside the hospital.  \nKeywords Telemedicine, Cancer treatment, Regional telemedicine service platform, Efficiency, Satisfaction  \n†Fangfang Cui and Xu Zhang contributed equally to this work.  \n*Correspondence: Jie Zhao [zhaojie@zzu.edu.cn](zhaojie@zzu.edu.cn)  \n1National Engineering Laboratory for Internet Medical Systems and Applications, The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, 1 Jianshe Road, Erqi District, Zhengzhou 450052, Henan, China 2Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, Shanghai, China  \n© The Author(s) 2024.
