Assessing the Impact of Multidisciplinary Cancer Consultations on Cancer Quality Metrics
Patients with multidisciplinary cancer consultations were more likely to receive adjuvant cancer treatment, but racial and ethnic disparities in cancer care persist. Multidisciplinary cancer consultations are likely an important, but not fully sufficient, contributor to the receipt of adjuvant cancer treatment and may be a tool in the implementation of multipronged, team-based cancer care delivery models to reduce inequities in cancer-related outcomes.
