Against multidisciplinarity: More is not necessarily better.

The article discusses the use of multidisciplinary approaches in healthcare, particularly in the context of cancer treatment. While multidisciplinarity is seen as a suitable strategy for addressing complex health issues, the evidence supporting its effectiveness is limited and methodologically weak. The article also highlights the challenges and risks associated with multidisciplinary care, such as treatment delays, conflicting advice, and increased costs. The authors suggest that an interdisciplinary approach, which integrates different expertise, may be more suitable. They emphasize the need for more clinical research, particularly pragmatic trials, to enhance healthcare decision-making. [Extracted from the article]
