    The study evaluated the impact of Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) recommendations on lung cancer treatment adherence and survival outcomes.

  • 2

    Patients in the MDT group had a higher treatment completion rate (86.09% vs. 68.57%) and lower treatment conversion rate (19.13% vs. 39.05%).

  • 3

    MDT participation was associated with significantly longer median overall survival (45.21 vs. 28.64 months) and progression-free survival (19.80 vs. 13.53 months).

  • 4

    The MDT model improved treatment adherence and delayed treatment conversion, facilitating more precise initial treatment selection.

  • 5

    Multivariate analyses confirmed MDT involvement as an independent factor linked to improved overall survival and treatment completion likelihood.
