May support preoperative MDT assessment in locally advanced colon cancer; hypothesis-generating and requires randomized confirmation.
Rosander et al. (2021) conducted a cohort in Locally advanced colon cancer (n=3,157). Preoperative multidisciplinary team (MDT) assessment vs. No MDT assessment was evaluated on 3-year colon cancer-specific survival (HR 0.70, 95% CI 0.57-0.84). Preoperative multidisciplinary team assessment was independently associated with improved 3-year colon cancer-specific survival compared to no assessment (80% vs 68%; HR 0.70, 95% CI 0.57-0.84).
