EVALUATION OF MULTIDISCIPLINARY TEAM MEETINGS IN URO-ONCOLOGY
Objectives:
The objective of this study was to examine the impact of multidisciplinary team meetings on the management decisions for urological cancers. A pro- spective study was conducted.
Methods:
The study popu- lation is cases presented to multidisciplinary teams at Notre- Dame de Secours University Medical Center between July 2012 and July 2014. Data was collected by a standard pro forma.
Results:
189 cases were presented in multidisci- plinary meetings during the study period. Results of this study showed that multidisciplinary team meetings change management decisions in 40.7% of cases. Change in man- agement decisions was mainly significant in testicular can- cer (57.1%), prostate cancer (42.7%) and bladder cancer (38.2%), with less important changes in renal cancer (33.3%). Prostate cancer cases with Gleason score 7 (51.7%) and bladder tumors with TNM ;t T2 (85.7%) were the most mod- ified in their respective groups.
Conclusion:
Multidiscipli- nary team meetings have a major impact in therapeutic de- cisions taken by urologists for newly diagnosed urological cancers.
