Digital health for cancer prevention: implications for current and future traditional in-person programs.

Digital health is expanding the range of delivery options available for cancer prevention and may support the development of integrated in-person, digital, and hybrid models. This commentary proposes a framework for cancer prevention delivery across modalities. It argues that the expansion of virtual platforms for cancer-related psychosocial and behavioral interventions may be redefining prevention pathways rather than merely adding digital options. It highlights the possible redistribution of some interventions, such as human papillomavirus vaccination and hepatitis B vaccination, toward in-person services, while cancer-related psychosocial interventions such as cancer prevention-related education can increasingly be delivered through digital platforms, which may improve access and continuity for some populations, although benefits depend on digital access, program design, and implementation context. It also raises concerns about fragmentation, equity, and implementation.
