Multidisciplinary Team Intervention: Catalysts for Changing Prognosis in Advanced Breast Cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Multidisciplinary team (MDT) discussions are standard in cancer care; however, their effect on advanced breast cancer (ABC) prognosis is not well-documented. This study examined the impact of MDT intervention on ABC patient survival.

Methods

A retrospective analysis of ABC patients diagnosed 2018 to 2021 was conducted by dividing them into MDT and non-MDT groups. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to compare progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) between the groups. Prognostic factors were evaluated using multivariate Cox regression analysis with subgroup analysis and 1:1 propensity score matching (PSM) to control for confounders.

Results

Total 707 patients were included, with 72.8% (515/707) underwent MDT intervention. After a median follow-up
