Practices and Implications of Cancer Multidisciplinary Team Care in UK
Multi-disciplinary team (MDT) is a widely recommended model of tumor diagnosis and treatment in modern medicine.Against the backdrop of the aging population,increasing cancer incidence rates,and the growing complexity of cancer cases in China.MDT has become a key focus in the innovative development of high-quality medical services in public hospitals.Leveraging its interdisciplinary collaboration advantages,MDT helps address the challenges presented by disease progression at various stages,thereby meeting the personalized,one-stop diagnos-tic and treatment needs of patients.It adopts a literature review approach and selects the United Kingdom as a repre-sentative case,given its early and extensive promotion of MDT at the national level and accumulated practical experi-ence.The aim is to review the development process,the organizational management,the pricing strategy,and pa-tient-centered cancer MDT practices in the UK.Building on this,a series of policy recommendations are proposed in light of the current status of cancer MDT operations in China.These recommendations include clarifying the content and implementation entities of cancer MDT services,refining MDT organizational management and quality assess-ment systems,exploring scientifically appropriate MDT pricing methods,piloting the patient agent system,ad-hering to the concept of"shared decision-making",so as to optimize the MDT system design from multi-dimen-sional perspectives to improve the quality of MDT services and benefit more patients.
