A semiquantitative matrix was built with a five-point scale for probability of harm (likelihood) and severity of harm (consequences) according to the international risk management standards (ISO 31000-2018). The risk level was calculated by multiplying likelihood \u00d7 consequences. Mitigation strategies have been identified and applied by the MDT to reduce risks to acceptable levels.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>RESULTS:<\/jats:title><jats:p>Three main processes (outpatient specialist visit, MDT discussion, and MDT program implementation), eight related subprocesses, and 16 risk factors were identified. Four risk factors (25%) were related to outpatient specialist visit, seven (43.75%) to case discussion, and five (31.25%) to program implementation. Overall, two risk factors were assigned a low-risk level (12.5%), 11 a moderate-risk level (68.75%), one (6.25%) a high-risk level, and two (12.5%) a very high-risk level. After the implementation of mitigation measures, the new semiquantitative risk analysis showed a reduction in almost all hazardous situations: two risk factors (12.5%) were given a very low level, six (37.5%) a low level, seven (43.75%) a moderate level, and one (6.25%) a very high level.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>CONCLUSION:<\/jats:title><jats:p>An interdisciplinary risk assessment analysis is applicable to MDT activities by using an ad hoc risk matrix: if the hazard is identified and monitored, the risk could be reduced and managed in a short time.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1200\/op.22.00358","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,16]],"date-time":"2022-11-16T20:59:18Z","timestamp":1668632358000},"page":"e315-e325","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1200\/crossmark","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Risk Management Activities in a Lung Cancer Multidisciplinary Team at a Comprehensive Cancer Center: Results of a Prospective Analysis"],"prefix":"10.1200","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1319-9608","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alessandro","family":"Morabito","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Thoracic Medical Oncology, Istituto Nazionale Tumori, IRCCS \u201cFondazione G.
