Impact of Time Between Multidisciplinary Team Meeting Discussion and Cytoreductive Surgery With Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy in Patients With Colorectal Peritoneal Metastases on Surgical, Quality of Life and Survival Outcomes

Key Points

• This research aims to explore the effects of timing between multidisciplinary team meetings and surgery on outcomes for colorectal peritoneal metastases patients.
• Analyzed timings from multidisciplinary team discussions to surgery
• Assessed surgical outcomes, patient quality of life, and survival rates
• Considered patient-related and scheduling delays
• Moderate delays in surgery did not negatively affect surgical outcomes.
• Patients showed comparable quality of life regardless of delay.
• Findings support reassurances for patients experiencing scheduling challenges.
