High hospital volume significantly boosts the implementation of evidence-based practices for common cancers.

• EBP implementation ranged from 71%-95% in high-volume sites compared to 60%-90% in low-volume facilities.
• Higher-volume hospitals had greater adjusted odds of applying EBP for six out of eight evaluated measures.

Surgeons should consider facility volume when recommending treatment centers to ensure patients receive optimal care.

• This data includes 2.9 million patients across breast, colon, melanoma, and thyroid cancers.
