Abstract

|
In the multidisciplinary cancer treatment (MCT), it is necessary that radiologists participate in the patients' care, and they might be directly involved to the new practice methods including outpatient clinics. Face-to-face MCT is the most desirable practice method because satisfaction and compliance of the patients is high. However, it should be restrictively expanded due to practical problems such as lack of manpower. As a practical alternative, there is non-face-to-face MCT, like a tumor board, and it has many advantages to overcome the limitations of face-to-face MCT. Therefore, it is necessary to establish policies to support that both two types of MCT are stimulated so that the patients are able to get the optimized cancer management.
