Multidisciplinary team care in prostate cancer: From decision-making to value-based management

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Multidisciplinary team (MDT) discussions are increasingly recognized as a cornerstone of high-quality prostate cancer (PCa) management. This mini-review explores the growing evidence supporting MDT implementation in PCa care pathways, its impact on treatment planning, and evolving tools to streamline decision-making. Evidence from recent cohort studies and implementation research suggests improved guideline concordance, reduced rates of overtreatment, and enhanced patient engagement when multidisciplinary evaluation is applied, particularly in complex cases or cases where management is uncertain. Future directions include evaluating structured decision-support tools and case complexity scoring systems. The integration of MDTs is a scalable model that should be adapted across healthcare settings.
