Optimising cancer care with a multidisciplinary approach


Presently in New Zealand, as set out by the National Cancer Plan, cancers or tumours are managed by cancer specialists in a group or multidisciplinary setting called the MDT (MultiDisciplinary Team). The cancer specialists involved in the MDT include:

  • Surgeons
  • Oncologists (chemotherapy doctors)
  • Radiotherapists (Xray treating doctors)
  • Radiologists (Xray doctors)
The MDT meeting allows the cancer specialists to meet and discuss each person and come up with the best plan of treatment for them. At WKS Surgery, we believe in a rapid and careful assessment, and discuss each person with other cancer specialists in a multidisciplinary setting to maximise outcomes for the individual.
