Abstract
Background: Few studies have examined the impact of multidisciplinary tumor board (MDT) discussion on pancreatic cancer treatment and diagnosis. We aimed to determine whether these patients who are presented at MDT meetings have improved outcomes compared with those who are not presented.
Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed of patients diagnosed with pancreatic cancer at our tertiary referral center between 2019 and 2022.
Results: Of the 190 patients included in the study, 166 (87.4%) were presented at MDT. Patients presented were more likely to receive appropriate pretherapy workup (81.9% vs 37.5%, P < 0.001) and posttreatment surveillance (52.4% vs 20.8%, P = 0.004) and had fewer postoperative complications (30.7% vs 58.3%, P = 0.008) compared to patients who were not presented.
Conclusion: All patients diagnosed with pancreatic cancer should be discussed at MDT meetings.
背景:很少有研究探讨多学科肿瘤委员会(MDT)讨论对胰腺癌治疗和诊断的影响。我们的目的是确定与那些没有参加MDT会议的患者相比,参加MDT会议的患者是否有更好的预后。方法:对2019年至2022年在我院三级转诊中心诊断为胰腺癌的患者进行回顾性图表分析。结果:纳入研究的190例患者中,166例(87.4%)接受了MDT。与未就诊的患者相比,就诊的患者更有可能接受适当的治疗前随访(81.9% vs 37.5%, P = 0.004),术后并发症更少(30.7% vs 58.3%, P = 0.008)。结论:所有诊断为胰腺癌的患者都应在MDT会议上进行讨论。
