Description
Most cancer patients are treated outside universities, so Carl-Stephan Leonhardt and seven co-authors check whether tumor board advice at an Austrian community hospital follows the national guidelines. Reviewers independently graded recommendations for 579 patients, mostly women with breast cancer, plus colorectal cases, against the standard S3 guidelines.
Full adherence reached 78 percent, with major deviations in ten percent, comparable to academic centers. Deviations mostly reflected patient preference or a missing surgical recommendation. Older age, colorectal cancer, poorer fitness, and more recent conferences predicted lower adherence. The authors conclude community tumor boards perform well, while noting other cancer types need the same check. The study appears in 2024.
