1. Provide Comprehensive, Individualized Treatment Plans • Review each patient's history, diagnostic tests (imaging, pathology), and previous treatments to formulate personalized treatment recommendations tailored to the patient’s medical profile. • Consider clinical trial opportunities as part of individualized planning. 2. Leverage Multidisciplinary Expertise • Enable collaborative input from specialists (e.g., medical, surgical, and radiation oncologists; radiologists; pathologists; nurses; allied health professionals) to ensure all aspects of care are covered. • Promote knowledge sharing and development across disciplines, including emerging diagnostic and therapeutic modalities. 3. Improve Communication & Coordination • Foster effective coordination, ensuring clarity on treatment responsibilities and next steps. • Streamline the oncology pathway, reducing delays from diagnosis to treatment initiation. 4. Ensure Consistency with Evidence-Based Guidelines • Standardize decision-making by adhering to evidence-based protocols and agreed “standards of care,” especially for routine cases. • Focus discussion time on complex or atypical cases requiring full multidisciplinary review. 5. Maintain Quality Assurance and Continuous Improvement • Regularly audit outcomes and processes, enabling the identification of areas for improvement in patient care quality. • Use structured toolkits and self-assessment frameworks to evaluate and enhance MDT performance over time. 6. Uphold Patient-Centered Care • Incorporate patients’ preferences, psychosocial context, and holistic needs into decision-making. • Switch from tumor-focused discussions to patient-centered care by considering quality of life and supportive/palliative needs alongside treatment. 7. Foster Clinical Innovation and Education • Stay abreast of advances in precision medicine (biomarkers, genomics) to translate new evidence into practice. • Provide ongoing professional development through regular exchange of knowledge among team members.
