Abstract

Breast cancer treatment has been revolutionized through the implementation of Multidisciplinary Care Teams (MDTs), significantly enhancing patient outcomes. This review outlines the essential components of MDTs in breast cancer care, summarizes evidence supporting their effectiveness, and highlights their role in addressing key challenges within the Thai healthcare system. We discuss quality assessment tools, propose an optimized MDT workflow, and explore the integration of emerging technologies to further advance patient-centered care.
