Abstract
Barbara Oureilidis-DeVivo
The literature on tumor boards is growing but limited and laden in discrepancy, rendering our knowledge of the functionality of multidisciplinary tumor boards (MDTs) in cancer management shaky at best [1]. For instance, while team-based functionality and decision-making are well established in the surgical literature, there are few similar studies related to MDTs. In addition, the extant literature offers inconsistent results on the effect of MDTs on patient outcomes
