Brief Summary

Nowadays, the recommended approach for decision-making for oncology patients is based on multidisciplinary meetings (MDT). However, the quality of decision-making during MDT depends on other factors such as the quality of presentation of clinical cases, the degree of participation of different specialists.

In this study, the investigators will evaluate the decision-making during digestive oncology MDT using the validated "Metric Of Decision-Making" tool (MDT-MODe), in the national institute of oncology (Rabat, Morocco).

Detailed Description

Multidisciplinary cancer meetings are a multidisciplinary discussion and decision-making process for a patient with cancer. It allows a sharing of knowledge and decision-making, taking into account the opinion of all the specialists involved in the treatment of cancer, in order to propose the best possible decision for the patient. Nevertheless, the quality of decision-making during CPR depends on other factors such as the quality of presentation of clinical cases, the degree of participation of different specialists and the dynamics of meetings.

There are several validated tools for the quantitative assessment of the decision-making mode during CPRs. The best known is the Metric Of Decision-Making (MDT-MODe). MDT-MODe is a validated tool for the observational evaluation of teamwork and the quality of decision-making during cancer CPR.

MDT-MODe is designed to encourage teams to make holistic decisions tailored to each patient and allows an observer to assess, on a case-by-case basis, in a quantitative and objective way:

The quality of the clinical information (antecedents, radiological pathologies, pathological, comorbid, psychosocial problems and patients' points of view) Contribution to decision-making in teams of key professional groups (surgeons, physicians, oncologists, nurses, health professionals, radiologists, pathologists) Taken together, these notes provide an indication of the quality of team decision-making.

In this study, the investigators will evaluate the decision-making during digestive oncology MDT using the validated "Metric Of Decision-Making" tool (MDT-MODe), in the national institute of oncology (Rabat, Morocco).
