“…A positive environment allows clinicians to share their experience and knowledge [18]. The ICP was set up by a methodology adhering to the cardinal principles of the E-P-A with regard to patient-centred care [19], and indicators designed to measure effectiveness and timeliness, as well as other objective aspects of the care pathway as a whole, are regularly monitored (Figure 1).…”

“…In contrast with Stone et al, 76% of all newly diagnosed lung cancer patients were discussed at their MDT meeting. However, there are other studies that also support a link between the MDT and better survival in lung cancer (7,8). Bydder and colleagues from Australia (9), motivated by the fact that in Forrest et al the cohorts were separated by 4 years which they speculated might have influenced the results, performed a single institution analysis of patients with inoperable NSCLC (predominantly stage IIIB/IV) treated in a single year (2006).…”

“…Absolute OS data (months/years) was not presented. It is Italy have also recently published a propensity matched analysis and found that patients undergoing surgical resection for NSCLC before (2008-2012) the introduction of an MDT meeting had a worse 1-year survival compared with those having their resection afterwards (2012-2015) (8).…”

“…While the number of tumor boards continued to grow over this period, it is important to evaluate the benefit of this effort for the patient. Previous studies were able to show improvement of survival for some specific tumor entity groups like lung cancer [1][2][3], head and neck cancer [4,5], hepatocellular cancer [6,7] and breast cancer [8] while some other studies did not show an significant improvement of survival for entities like pancreatic cancer [9] colorectal cancer [10], multiple myelomas [11] or metastatic germ cell tumors [12]. Analyses which tried to draw the big picture by taking multiple entities into consideration via metanalysis [13] or general comparison of cancer centers with and without multidisciplinary tumor board meetings [14] showed little to no evidence of an improved clinical outcome.…”
