Survival rates for colon cancer patients have improved due to better treatments and the use of multidisciplinary team meetings (MDTm), but the organization of these meetings can still be optimized.
A study of 1,616 patients diagnosed between 2014 and 2016 found that 20.5% were not presented in MDTm, mainly due to factors like advanced age, poor condition, and superficial tumors.
Identifying these non-presentation factors can help target improvements in MDTm organization and ensure more comprehensive patient care.
