Doctors' teamwork under the microscope: can better meetings lead to better cancer care?
NCT ID NCT07645716
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how doctors in tumor board meetings work together when discussing ovarian and uterine cancer cases. About 400 physicians will fill out surveys after each meeting to measure things like communication, teamwork, and decision-making. The goal is to understand what makes these meetings effective, which could improve how cancer treatment plans are made.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could reveal how team communication and collaboration affect cancer treatment decisions, potentially improving patient care.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study with no treatment given, so it won't directly change patient outcomes. Results may not apply to other hospitals.
