ABSTRACT

@#Objective    To investigate the clinical value of multidisclplinary team (MDT) in the application of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods    We retrospectively analyzed the postoperative clinical data of 80 patients with NSCLC in the First Hospital of Lanzhou University between January 2014 and May 2018. There were 56 males, 24 females at age of 59±10 years. Forty five patients were performed lobectomy with conventional model, 35 patients were also performed lobectomy after MDT discussion. The clinical effect of the two groups was compared. Results    Compared to conventional model, MDT can shorten operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative chest drainage, catheterization time, complications, length of stay and hospital costs. But there was no significant difference in intraoperative transthoracotomy proportion, delayed wound healing and postoperative pulmonary leakage between the two groups. Conclusion    The efficacy of MDT in the surgical treatment of NSCLC is satisfactory. The MDT is valuable during operation, which reduces surgical trauma and accelerate patients’ recovery, and deserves the clinical promotion.
