Especially in light of systemic treatment entailing targeted therapies for metastatic RCC, MDT's role remains undefined. Goal of our study was to evaluate which patients might benefit most from MDT. Our assessed endpoints were time to initiation of systemic therapy and progression-free survival (PFS).</div></div><div><h3>Material & methods</h3><div>We collected data retrospectively and exclusively at our centre; our study included patients with recurrent RCC after initial partial or radical nephrectomy, who subsequently underwent MDT at the University Hospital Freiburg and whose cases were discussed at our interdisciplinary urogenital tumour board between 2011 and 2021.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>A total of 92 patients were included. Median follow up was 57.6 months (IQR 30.9–89.6). Median age was 65.1 (IQR 59.05–72.36) at the time of first MDT.

In multivariate regression analysis, a higher T-stage in the initial pathology was associated with shorter PFS (HR 1.64, 95%-CI 0.98–2.66; p = 0.05).
