The multidisciplinary approach is an integrated approach of the patient. A complex medical team evaluates the treatment options and creates an optimal plan for the patient. The team discusses in board meetings the specific treatment options of the patient considering the up-to-date medical data and the patient’s wishes. The multidisciplinary team gives the patient the whole range of available treatment at a specific moment, according to the medical standards, consequently the patient is offered the best available treatment based on up-to-date medical information.
The implications of a multidisciplinary approach are enormous, being proved that it decreases morbidity and mortality and increases the quality of life of the patient.
