Abstract:
Oral cancer is the most common form of malignant tumor in the head and neck. However, traditional systematized and individualized treatments cannot provide a full range of treatment strategies for patients. As such, multidisciplinary team (MDT) diagno -sis plays an important role in improving the survival and prognosis of patients. Compared with a traditional single disciplinary model, the MDT diagnosis model provides a high-quality comprehensive individualized treatment. The MDT diagnosis and treatment model al -so contributes to medical education and clinical research. Although this model has been established overseas, it is in the initial develop -mental stage in China; thus, appropriate guidelines have yet to be designed. Therefore, MDT diagnosis and treatment model focusing on oral should be promoted and standardized.
