The management of breast cancer has increasingly benefited from a multidisciplinary approach, where different medical experts collaborate to achieve the highest standard of patient care. In breast cancer surgery, multidisciplinary teams (MDTs) typically include surgeons, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, radiologists, and pathologists. This collaborative model allows for a more comprehensive evaluation of each patient's condition. The integration of different medical specialists facilitates better coordination of surgical, medical, and radiation therapies, and addresses complex clinical scenarios effectively. Additionally, incorporating genetic counselling and patient support services plays a crucial role in managing high-risk patients and improving their overall experience. This issue will explore the impact of such integrated care models on surgical outcomes and patient satisfaction.
The upcoming research topic “The Essential Role of Multidisciplinary Teams in Breast Cancer Surgery: Collaboration for Superior Patient Outcomes” will explore the very important impact of Multidisciplinary Teams (MDT) in breast cancer surgery.
Highlighting the relevance of collaboration among surgeons, oncologists, radiologists, radiotherapists and geneticists, this issue will focus on how integrated care strategies improve treatment planning, decision-making and patient outcomes. By presenting case studies, best practices and discussion on the integration of surgical and medical oncology, this issue will emphasize the importance of coordinated care and its impact on surgical success. It will also explore the critical roles of genetic counselling, patient support services, and enhanced communication strategies as crucial elements of effective multidisciplinary collaboration, with the goal of inspiring advancements in patient-centred care.
This Research Topic focuses on the very important role of multidisciplinary teams (MDTs) in breast cancer surgery, emphasizing how collaborative approaches enhance treatment planning, decision-making, and patient care. We invite contributions that explore case studies demonstrating the benefits of coordinated care, integration of surgical, medical, and radiation oncology, and the impact of genetic counselling and patient support services. Submissions should also address strategies for improving communication and coordination within MDTs. Original research, review articles and case reports are welcome. Authors are encouraged to highlight practical examples of multidisciplinary integration and its effects on patient outcomes. This issue aims to guide healthcare teams in delivering comprehensive, patient-centered care.
Please note: Manuscripts consisting solely of bioinformatics, computational analysis, or predictions of public databases which are not accompanied by validation (independent clinical or patient cohort, or biological validation in vitro or in vivo, which are not based on public databases) are not suitable for publication in this journal.
