Abstract
Brazil presents a complex scenario in cancer treatment. The occurrences have been growing around 600.000 new cases every year. The development of telemedicine has been a priority to INCA and its importance to the delivery of healthcare services in Brazil is huge. The PACS’ deployment allied with the creation of a national network of cancer care institutions were the priorities of INCA’s telemedicine project. This environment can remove communication barriers and ensure better collaboration among physicians across the country. The purpose of this article was to study the telemedicine adoption by physicians. The implementation of telemedicine can be considered as a type of disruptive innovation which changes radically the doctor-patient relationship.
