The Prognostic Effect of Multidisciplinary Team Intervention in Patients with Advanced Gastric Cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The effect of multidisciplinary team intervention (MDT) on the prognosis of advanced gastric cancer (GC) is still controversial. This study aims to analyze the effect of MDTs on the overall survival time of advanced gastric cancer patients.

Methods

Patients with advanced GC who underwent surgical treatment between 2007 and 2014 were included in the study. They were divided into two groups; the MDT group received MDT treatment and the non-MDT group received conventional treatment. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to compare the overall survival (OS) of the two groups. The prognostic factors of advanced GC were evaluated by multivariate Cox regression analysis.

Results

394 patients were included in our study. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that the pro
