Validation and implementation of a mobile app decision support system for prostate cancer to improve quality of tumor boards.

ABSTRACT: Certified Cancer Centers must present all patients in multidisciplinary tumor boards (MTB), including standard cases with well-established treatment strategies. Too many standard cases can absorb much of the available time, which can be unfavorable for the discussion of complex cases. In any case, this leads to a high quantity, but not necessarily a high quality of tumor boards. Our aim was to develop a partially algorithm-driven decision support system (DSS) for smart phones to provide evidence-based recommendations for first-line therapy of common urological cancers. To assure quality, we compared each single digital decision with recommendations of an experienced MTB and obtained the concordance.1873 prostate cancer patients presented in the MTB of the urological department of the Unive
