This paper aims to identify the technology-related studies that facilitate the cancer management of CALD consumers. A literature search was conducted in Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, Google Scholar, CINAHL Plus, Medline, and EBSCO. The new revised PRISMA framework is employed in the selection process of the studied papers. In addition, the revised Cochrane Collaboration approach was used to assess the risk of bias.
