Centers certified by the German Cancer Society are required to implement the guideline recommendations as comprehensively as possible. When guidelines provide insufficient or ambiguous evidence, heterogeneity of treatment preferences is likely to emerge across individual centers. The aim of this study is to describe the preferences of the centers' tumor boards for treatment decisions when clear, evidence-based guideline recommendations are lacking.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>To investigate the tumor boards' preferences for different treatment options, an anonymous online survey was conducted among 314 certified colorectal cancer centers. The survey included seven visceral oncological and nine visceral surgical case vignettes. Centers were asked to discuss the vignettes in the tumor board or, alternatively, delegate them to an appropriate physician representatively speaking for the tumor board. The responses were analyzed descriptively and normalized entropy estimates (NE) were calculated for each vignette.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>A total of 123 centers (39%) responded to the survey. For oncological cases without clear guideline recommendations, substantial heterogeneity (NE: 0.39-0.71) in treatment preferences was observed. For instance, opinions varied widely for UICC II pT4a colon cancer. In this situation, 28% of centers would prefer fluoropyrimidine monotherapy, 39% oxaliplatin-based combination therapy and 33% no adjuvant chemotherapy at all. Surgical vignettes showed a preference for laparoscopic and robotic approaches, with variations based on tumor location (NE: 0.46-0.67). Importantly, in case of a clear evidence-based guideline recommendation, treatment preferences did not differ considerably between hospital sites.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>In prototypical case vignettes without evidence-based guideline recommendations, pronounced heterogeneity of treatment preferences between centers was found. Reconstructing these treatment preferences can contribute to enhancing the quality of evidence derived from observational studies. This seems especially important in the context of clinical questions that cannot be assessed in randomized trials; clinical routine data represent an adequate resource for evidence generation in these scenarios.</p><p><strong>Trial registration: </strong>After conducting this study, the main study was registered in the German Clinical Trials Register (DRKS) on October 4, 2024 under study No. DRKS00034650.</p>","PeriodicalId":9129,"journal":{"name":"BMC Gastroenterology","volume":"25 1","pages":"700"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12505869/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145243754","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Meta-analysis showed that compared with the control group, glutamine supplementation significantly reduced the incidence of chemoradiation-induced diarrhea in colorectal cancer patients (RR = 0.72, 95%CI: 0.60-0.87, P < 0.01, I²=37%). Subgroup analysis found that glutamine was more effective in reducing diarrhea in patients receiving chemotherapy alone than in those undergoing chemoradiotherapy (RR = 0.65, 95%CI: 0.43-0.98, P < 0.05, I²=35%). By tumor location, glutamine reduced diarrhea in the colorectal cancer subgroup (RR = 0.65, 95%CI: 0.44-0.97, P < 0.05, I²=30%) but not in the rectal cancer subgroup (P > 0.05). D-xylose levels were significantly higher in the glutamine group (MD = 0.32, 95%CI: 0.14-0.51, P < 0.01, I²=0%), while C-reactive protein levels were significantly lower (MD = 0.52, 95%CI: 0.32-0.72, P < 0.01, I²=0%). The certainty of evidence for diarrhea was rated as low.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Glutamine supplementation is associated with a reduced incidence of diarrhea in patients with colorectal cancer, with a more pronounced efficacy observed in those receiving chemotherapy alone.</p>","PeriodicalId":9129,"journal":{"name":"BMC Gastroenterology","volume":"25 1","pages":"697"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12502349/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145238149","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
