Impact of Multidisciplinary Team Care on Patient-Reported Outcomes in Patients with Lung Cancer: A Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Multidisciplinary team (MDT) care is now recognized as the most effective approach to managing lung cancer treatment. While MDTs aim to improve coordination, decision-making, and patient outcomes, their impact on patient-reported outcomes, particularly quality of life (QoL), remains unclear.

Objective

This systematic review aimed to examine how the involvement of a multidisciplinary team (MDT) in the care of patients with lung cancer affects patient-reported outcomes and to investigate the enablers and barriers for implementing and running MDT care in lung cancer management.

Methods

We systematically searched Medline, Embase, Cochrane, and Scopus (up to March 2024) to identify studies comparing QoL outcomes in patients with lung cancer managed with and with
