This specialist roundtable discussion examines the key performance indicators for an MDT and the value of the MDT to patients and team members, and focuses on barriers to change in the MDT approach, emerging therapies that could impact the MDT approach, and the evolution of collaboration between clinical and molecular MDTs. To finish, the experts highlight the unprecedented challenges for healthcare systems caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and discuss adaptations to MDT practices that were required as a result, and whether they may continue in the future.
