Objective:
The use of multidisciplinary teams (MDTs) comprised of all members of the patient care team is becoming increasingly popular in the field of oncology. We present a single-center experience exploring the utility and uniqueness of an MDT in the care of patients undergoing brain and spine stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS).
Methods:
The weekly SRS conference brought together neurosurgeons, radiation oncologists, neuroradiologists, physicists, dosimetrists, therapists, advanced practice providers, and trainees in these fields as well as researchers from a variety of disciplines with a goal of optimizing patient care. A survey of 20 conference attendees from 7 different facets of the MDT was conducted for feedback.
Results:
The survey results revealed that most respondents believed the SRS conference increased educational opportunities, provided opportunities for research and collaborations, helped streamline patient care, and was beneficial to their practice.
Conclusions:
We present our institutional MDT model, a framework and workflow that can be incorporated at other large academic centers. We believe that the SRS conference has educational, academic, and patient care value.
