2021 World Conference on Lung Cancer (Posters)-P10. Adherence to Treatment Recommendations From Multidisciplinary Tumor Boards

P10. Adherence to Treatment Recommendations From Multidisciplinary Tumor Boards

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The study presented by Julia Röper focused on investigating the adherence to treatment recommendations for multidisciplinary tumor boards in lung cancer patients. The study analyzed data from 1,784 newly diagnosed lung cancer patients discussed in a tumor board. Adherence to the tumor board recommendations was categorized as complete, partial, or missing. Reasons for non-adherence included patient's wishes, characteristics, and death before or during treatment. Survival curves showed that patients with complete adherence had a longer overall survival compared to those with partial or non-adherence. The study suggests the need for interventions to improve adherence and optimize the quality of care in oncology.
