Treatment of lung cancer patients is changing rapidly and new treatment options have emerged in recent years. In 2007, to guarantee the best treatment procedure for lung cancer patients being treated in our peripheral hospital, we decided to introduce an interdisciplinary tumour videoconference between the Haemato-Oncological Day Hospital in Merano and the Comprehensive Cancer Centre Innsbruck. This retrospective analysis aims to describe the feasibility of such a conference.
Two hundred and three patients with lung cancer treated at the peripheral hospital of Merano between May 2003 until May 2011 were retrospectively analysed. After introduction of the tumour videoconference in 2007, 54% (n = 110) of the patients in this cohort were discussed in the conference.
One hundred and four videoconferences were performed. Videoconference was feasible for 110 patients. Radiotherapeutic treatments were prescribed more frequently in patients from the conference group. Overall, major and minor treatment changes were undertaken in 7% (n = 8) and 18% (n = 20), respectively.
Interdisciplinary tumour videoconference is feasible between a peripheral hospital and a comprehensive cancer centre. Radiotherapeutic treatment was prescribed more frequently, suggesting that such a conference facilitates the access to cancer-centre-specific treatment modalities. Accordingly, tumour videoconference between a peripheral hospital and a cancer centre is to be recommend.
肺癌患者的治疗方法正在迅速变化，近年来出现了新的治疗选择。为了保证在我们的附属医院治疗的肺癌患者获得最佳的治疗方案，我们决定在梅拉诺的血液肿瘤科日间医院和因斯布鲁克综合癌症中心之间引入一个跨学科的肿瘤视频会议。本回顾性分析旨在描述这种会议的可行性。
对 2003 年 5 月至 2011 年 5 月期间在梅拉诺附属医院治疗的 203 例肺癌患者进行回顾性分析。在 2007 年引入肿瘤视频会议后，该队列中有 54%（n=110）的患者在会议中进行了讨论。
进行了 104 次视频会议。视频会议对 110 名患者可行。在会议组的患者中，放射治疗的应用更为频繁。总的来说，分别有 7%（n=8）和 18%（n=20）的患者接受了主要和次要的治疗方案改变。
在附属医院和综合癌症中心之间进行跨学科肿瘤视频会议是可行的。放射治疗的应用更为频繁，这表明这种会议有助于获得癌症中心特有的治疗方法。因此，建议在附属医院和癌症中心之间进行肿瘤视频会议。
