Single-center, randomized clinical trial (RCT) with low intervention level (Telenursing), for the monitoring of patients affected by lung cancer and melanoma who are candidates for first prescription with Targeted Therapies. The study population will consist of patients suffering from lung cancer and melanoma. The objective of the study will be to evaluate the effectiveness of a Telenursing intervention, comparing the mean score of the total SCNs scale (Supportive Care Needs) after one month of treatment in the treatment arm and in the control arm. Enrolled patients will then be randomized into two treatment arms: * Arm 1 (Control Group): current clinical practice * Arm 2 (Experimental group): Telenursing intervention.

• patients suffering from lung cancer and melanoma candidates for the first prescription with Targeted Therapies in exclusive treatment;
• patients able to understand, speak Italian and join the study by signing of paper informed consent;
• possibility of accessing and using the information technologies adopted in trial through a PC/tablet and personal internet connection;
